Outstanding work !! I really like following builds like these , shows how simple items laying around can be turned into assembled parts. Great tip on the half rounds too, I've always struggled with getting them to curve without kinking

Hey Jerry , ya the plant isn't far from where I live I didnt know much about trucks till being on here, then touring the museum really gives an appreciation of their popularity. Several gentlemen in our classic car club actually worked at the plant ...its awesome to listen to their stories

I've always used bleach white over night soak then wash w dawn dish soap in cool water . Super clean also turned a few resin parts into a mess , I only use it now for stripping chrome

Awesome work

If your talking about the small side glass, I'd recommend making them from any plastic container, or acetate sheet. Usually it's much thinner appearing much more in scale .

Wow awesome work and the mods really make it pop

Thank you ! I appreciate the feedback CabDriver - my process for painting was 2 mist coats then 2 or 3 moderate wet . I wanted a good tacky coat since the humidity was insane. I nearly always end up w fogging or a milky coat w lacquer, something my buddies remind me to let each coat rest and it will generally clear up. This clear like most lacquer shrink back after curing causing my paint to dull slightly..a light wet sanding and buffing usually helps it pop back Hope that helps

Wow thanks everyone ! Every build finished or started deserved an award Special thanks to Driptroit 71 for hosting the BRBO keeping it running smoothly

Well..its finished !!! Quick fun build before getting back to scratch building . Sorry my pics are cell quality..any criticism or feedback welcome! finally the Coyote thanks for following along Jeff

Good luck !

Nice work especially the interior details

Thanks Jason ! I agree the wheels were too bright w the chrome spokes against the red

Thanks Sam ! Been slowly puttering, decent weather lately had me tied dwn w outdoor projects. Yeah the gray won out , all the chrome was too much

Nice work so far , one of my favorite truck styles

Now those port hole windows fit perfectly ! Man your friends artistic mind really is amazing, so cool how he turned it into your sons football season

Very nice work Pat Always fascinating watching how multiple kits can be sourced to make one project possible

Thanks everyone I appreciate your comments The gut is dry , now to detail it up . I'll post a few pics later Any opinions on the wheels ? I painted the spokes w a metallic gray, called model air exhaust manifold..or leave chrome ? I m not sure w the red which looks better

Fantastic builds !!

Thanks for hosting the BRBO Brian every build turned out fantastic and sad everyone didnt have time to finish, but life always gets in the way of hobbies

Nice work on the axle spread , they look sooo much better narrow

I had heard fantastic reviews about the kit. I decided I wanted a fast easy build , that wouldn't take all summer..and require an addition on the hobby room. Wow the reviews were right ! This truck flew together !! After only an hr I had a rolling chassis mocked up Early on I also decided the kit engine wouldn't be used , choosing instead a supercharged 5.0 Coyote from the mustang gt...now its looking right. jump ahead the next day and my artograph paint booth got called into service ( love this booth) Testors red lacquer w wet look clear poured on in light coats really makes the 70s era flake pop The cab right after clear, a very humid day, the milky appearance hadn't cleared yet. A few days later I mocked everything together for a test fit.. The color is actually darker in person , and will be buffed after a few more curing days Time to get the gut painted tan and detailed

Awesome build Tom ! Very creative load too , definitely good way to save display space

Great looking WS

Haha I gotta say Kerry that bench looks like my dads work shop during his wood working projects! But ask him where a single thing is he'd reach down and grab it without even looking Me..I'm the other way , a Wip shelf keeps the projects together.

Wow you've really built a stunner! I really like the unique builds everyone comes up with , shows how creative we can be !
