just stunning and cool .. one thing i dotn get why did you line the sides with the black "rhino"stuff .. seems to me it would have looked even better with the sides where the wheel arch is and the rear back where the taillights are in the body color and the rhino stuff on the floor only .. not ment like .. i was just thinking about that when i saw this .. still very nice and cool build

thnx !! the rear will sit higer eventually so that its got a rake in the cab and bed just closed some gaps on the inside of the bed , the underside and on the sides of the tailgate .. beside the cut chevy parts its all left overs and some old plastic so i just filled in the gaps with car bondo that becomes rockhard its drying tomorrow i can sand the bondo the inside of the bed will get more detail later

hmmm indeed .. tasty , looks great

ooh cool !!

hmnmk best bumped thread ever haha too bad it just stopped ....would love to see teh end result

looks awsome in primer already , going to be awsome !!!

sprayed the rims chrome and then after drying painted them with brown oild paint and with a wet cuetip removed the brown oild paint leaving it in the edges and deeper parts sanded a bit on the primed rear end here you see its brown in the rims the cabine is next i guess thats not primed , need to make a strip on the side and clean up some stuff like pannellines

gave the tyres a first sandjob

thnx david !! did a lot of dryfitting and searching for the right parts and look then i decided to spray the whole rear in primer to see how it looked .. red is hard to see where there are issues or .. now it wil be a rougher rod but hmm it actually was pretty smooth ..

thnx bryan ! i made good progres this morning first i took the rim backsides that fit the axle and made them a lot smaller (width) and for the picture with dryfitting put some deeper bbs rims in the tyres made a closed part in the bed , underneith i can slide in a gas tank (need to make that) and let the fillerneck come up through the top plate.. need to make wheel wells and a floor i had old new beetle rims i saved from the bin ounce .. and took the revell rims you find in a lot of kits .. i never use there revell rims because they are to common .. so now i could use them as a center for deep dish rims and ... need to spray them chrome under the rod like the reference rod the rims fall deep into the tyre and are nice and deep

ooh yeah !!! awsome and those rims ... nom nom love the brown matallic paint !!

whouw whouw and whouw , i just love this .......

haha i love these builds , looking cool already !

hmm cool @@@

very nice !!! looks great !

cool !!!!!!!

wouw that georgeous and clean build !!

this just go's in the top of the builds section , like one of the cooler and most beautifull builds out there ... along with some other perfect build .. just absolutly stunning and ...whouw

i wouldnt change a thing , looked at it for quite a while and i just think the wheels and arch proportions are great .. its real low , wheels show great ..

hmmm nice !

thats cool !!

made a tailgate , the chevy trunk was not usable i already used part of that .. so i took a chevy trunk lid and bend it into shape did the round shae myself by heating and bending .... i had 3 corvette bodus so i hacked one up .. other parts are usefull in the future glued a bar of sprue on the top rear of the trunklid wich i will flatten and file into shape later

thnx guys .. !

decided to go with the style of the rat pick up with the coronet ass > started on my version , instead of a coronet its a 57 chevy rear end placed the light houses , bumper , that became a whole lot shorter found the perfect tyres with a good sand they will look like the reference rod

very very nice !! the inside looks well though over , the lay out and parts , really looks like your average home shop / garage / an cave ... crowded .... the building itself > great .. cant waight to see some paint or stain or weathering on that .. will it be finished like smooth and well cared for or more rough ??
