Ok some progress was made this week... The Chevy cab is complete with the exception of a hood repaint. And from the looks of it the cab paint came out is a little darker than the body due to unknow problems with the Krylon paint. ( used the same color same can same primer) ..... But oh well Photos to follow

Ill add some.. of course they will be fire trucks.... LOL Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Body color for Fire trucks....

great scratch building work!

It started with the paint ..... then the glue it snowballed from there and i just hit a wall with it Aaron.... so i went with the chevy.... thanks for the info now to find a wal-mart that is not sold out of krylon cherry red paint....

I get real #11 disposable scalpels from the Emergency room....(when i work the Medic unit i swipe one ore tow new ones) these work the best for applying BMF and a thin and ultra sharp.... For cutting parts I use e-xacto #11...

Mark you know what i want....... the pumper.... see u at NNL Sat

Funny some Chevys had cut wheel wells and other did not...... cane someone shed a light onto why this is... Cut open Hosted on Fotki Not Cut Hosted on Fotki

Well the Ford Cab had early demise........ LOL this ladder is now getting a 46 Chevy Cab... I had to open the wheel wells also on this one. I Loved the ford cab but i also think the Chevy cab make the truck look sleeker and give it some better lines.... onto the eye candy. This is as far as i got with the Ford.....
