    Alrighty then, Haven't posted here for a while. I'm primarily a rc scale ship guy, but have always loved model cars. Every now and then I get an idea based on everyday life, and here it is. Started with the MPC '75 Datsun pickup kit; made the flatbed from styrene sheet/strip. The porta-potty is a resin item from Scale Equipment. This a curbside, so no under the hood shots. I stripped the kit mag wheels, and sprayed them flat white, with a healthy coating of rust/dirt. The body is Model Master flat medium blue rattle can, with an undercoat of red oxide primer. Bumper/grill/mirrors were also sprayed white. additional rust was dry brushed on, as were some pastel chalks. I added a coffee thermos/flashlight/magazine to the cab seat. Pretty quick build, needed something to get the model car juices going again. All comments/criticism/theats are welcome. Mark

    Cool. I have the dump truck version sitting on the bench now, maybe time to start it.

    Very well done. Tried this kit a couple of times years ago; stock, and as the LRW. Might give it another try . Mark

    Thanks. This Met runs good, but has cancer in the lower doors. We have a '64 Comet Caliente in restoration now, so the Met will have to wait. Mark

    You are right; it's a '59 Met hardtop. A good friend who owned it for 40 years (he's 86 now), hasn't driven for a few years, and gave it to us as the next caretakers. We got it running, and mechanically sound. I've been driving it for almost a year now. Put on 301 miles on it since we had it worked on.

    Thanks for the replies guys. I thought about sanding the factory paint/painting over it, but would like to try stripping once. I will post which way I go, and do a build thread. Mark
