got some color sprayed today ,satin pearl purple ,this is the paint I,m using ,

thanks guy,s for all the kind words , work is going slow trying to get the body work done and smooth ,

Wayne , the [ panel ] was cut out of the center rear window on the 50 Chevy pick up , AMT , it was an old one I had that the paint was screwed up on , I glued the rear window from the 55 kit into place and cot out for the [ PANEL ] and glued that in , add putty and sand ,sand ,sand , hope this helps . Yea I know you can get a cab in resin with the small window all ready done , but that takes all the fun out of doing it your self . !

body work is all most done , made inner wheel wells for the bed ,

some pics as I was building the frame ,

who say,s they all have to be shiny ! nice looking rod ,

nice , looking good ,

here are some pics of the frame that I built for the truck , If you want I can post pics as it was being built .

way to push it to a new level , love the ramp and bed ,

O yah ! I was covered in resin dust ! same with the hood , but well worth it , the back doors took an hour with a dremel .

no they are not ,the front tires are , the rims are out of the parts box , and so are the rear tires ,

using a 57 cab as the side windows on the 55,s wrong , it will have a 55 grill ,57 hood ,I converted the big back window to a small one as I like them better ,I am also going to have the visor on ,and a 58 fleet side bed , I had to shorten the bed as it was a long bed , this will be sitting on the ground with a custom frame and air ride suspension , not sure about a motor yet , color will be a satin pearl color ,maybe green,or blue or lavender I don,t know yet ,

I like it ! keep it up !

Paint is blood red finger nail polish , wheels are from the Stacey David,s Rat roaster kit , bug chacher is out of the old parts box , the rest is straight out of the kit or scratch built , as all way,s comments welcome ,

I used the bumper off the 50,s Chevy truck , Dan .

sweet build ! I,d drive that until the wheels fall off !

up date should be done soon , made custom headers to dump out the fenders , fuel injection on top of the blower , and some wheelie bars just for the heck of it ,

cool ! look foreword to seeing them ,

love this kit got that when i was a kid ,your looks awesome ,

I,m really liking this ! love what you,v done with this it,s coming together nice .

Justin , here is some inspiration for you ,

you really are doing a great job , sucks about the fins though ,

great ideas ! Richard , that is going to look so cool . I like the cadi,y sides and the bed between them you got to keep those fin,s ! I,LL be watching !

Richard , those wheels are sick ! nice work ,

that is sharp ! and for a brown car you nailed it , cool .
