It goes well with the gold chevelle back there by the trees in their tiny green-houses! lol Great job!

As bad as you're making this kit sound, it sure looks like a really good kit to do a super detail build. If it was Tamiya quality with that kind of engineering, it would have been in the hundreds of dollars range.

I was in Branson there that day, I could have been there. I was just chilling in the hotel with my smokin' hot wife while my inlaws and son were all at silverdollar city. wait, nope, I don't regret it, now that I think about it. lol

I got mine from micromark. I think it was only $3.00 (U.S.). It was that or squadron mail order. Either one will have it.

I was going to say what a wonderful charcoal color, but I'm colorblind, so... What a wonderful green ;-) color! Great shine on it though. Did you buff that or is it straight out of the can?

That's a heck of a chop! Looks great. This is currently one of my favorite kits. Can't wait to see this progress

I think the t600 looks like the ancestor of a mid-'80s Thunderbird.

Thank you for the kind words. I am completely stuck for the moment. I need to get the rear suspension in place so I can get the bed properly located. I am trying to build a 4-link or some kind of custom suspension. I, just today, picked up the brass rod and tubing to fab something up. Need to get my soldering gear from work to start putting it all together

Look up heat and smash technique on aircraft canopies and adapt it to your windshield. It will also help "thin" the glass

I love it. I have been eyeing a real Ryder van (Chevy G30) that's for sale here in OK

I was considering using a 59 impala chassis and most of the body to build a closer to stock high detailed 59 sedan delivery

So you decided on naughty rather than nice (Christmas commercial). I like it. This happens to be my favorite MB next to the early 90s 500sl.

This is new. Only one page and you're almost done! Lol Looks great!

Maybe you could put a pic of the box in the first post? Seems people are thinking its the stock Supra. Fantastic build! I was going to swap interiors and chassis between mine to build a couple of drift cars.

I love the fact that it has an utilitarian look with the matt color but still has a high end paint and build quality. Rat rods are too trendy. Great job!

Oddly enough, this is inspiring me to build a Dodge A100 cab & chassis truck and put a flatbed on it

Absolutely awesome! You amaze me with your eye for style. Incredibly inspiring.

Nice, um, Camaro? Lol.

Wow, I just need to quit now! That rig looks great! I was in my twenties before I ever got a best in class award! You should put that one in a case and take care of it. One day you'll step back and see just how good that truck really is. Congratulations on the win, it is well deserved!

OK, this one is getting bookmarked. Gorgeous build! I am very impressed with how well you replicated the original.

ok, I got some progress. Not much, but I worked on it. I made the door hinges integral with the door jamb because I didn't have any tubing to build the pivot. In this first photo, you can see the way the doors were cut out and a rocker panel was formed from the bottom of the door. The corners radiused because the square corners just didn't look right with all the curvy panels. Door sills were formed and are integrated with the floor. This floor/interior pan ended up being built with the back wall of the interior as well as the firewall and with the rear of the cab and rockerpanels being smoothed into the body, I have to put the interior together inside the cab, like a 1:1. It's going to be a challenge, but I think the effort will pay off. Here's how the floor pan fits into the body. The rocker panel is permanently attatched and the flat part of the floor is held in place by the rockers. I'll be adding some cab mounts and some more gussets and structure as the build progresses. I still have the door panels, dash, seats, headliner, console details and so much more to think about as I press on with this one. I've gathered up some steam, so as long as my guitar practice doesn't keep me from building I think this will keep getting my attention.

Custom hauler hauling a custom! Right on! I love this!

That's the new packaging of future acrylic floor shine, right? I was at wally world looking for future and couldn't find it.

Well, I ripped out the carpet in my hobby room and put some gorgeous dark hand scraped bamboo flooring and finally got my room in a productive order so I figured I'd bring this back out. I don't have any pics yet, mainly because no substantial progress has been made. I decided to open the doors and am planning my hinges. I went to Walmart to get some paper clips and somehow left them in the cart.

That's brilliant! I love brainstorming! I think I'll be going to find some of this Saturday
