Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. I used bare metal foil on those parts.

Colors for the build,

More progress tonight…..

Thanks guys. This is this years attempt, will do it close to box art. Will post some pics of the opening carnage shortly after noon tomorrow, haha…..

Pretty much the rules as we use them is, at noon you crack open the kit and build like mad until noon Sunday . As to the painting, I use lacquer paint and a dehydrator to speed up the cure time. The rig I pictured above I think too 2-3 hours to prime and two tone the paint using the dehydrator. Even if you don’t finish, give it a try, it’s a fun little distraction for a weekend.

Not on Facebook, that’s why some buddies are doing it as well, we kinda use the same rule structure. Dan, yes, noon eastern time, should be fun

Frame looks great, terrific work on the stinger. Color combo is gonna look slick on this build.

Looking good so far, should really pop in that red .

So, some buddies and I are going to do our version of the 24 hours of Daytona 24 hour build again this year, I’m going to do the revell snap KW kit this year, did the snap Pete last year. Wanted to start a thread so once I start Saturday at noon, I can just hop on here and post my progress. I know some of you fellas kinda followed my build last year, so, if you’re bored this weekend, check in often, I should have a lot going on in a short time, haha! here’s a few pics of last years build, total time was about 12 hours to finish it.

I am really digging the look you’ve got going on this, I can’t wait to see the whole set up when finished!

Thanks guys. Dan, going to pair it with the new moebius flatbed trailer, and going to use super singles on it.

Well done, she’s a beauty!

Thanks for the comments guys, keeps me motivated ? . So, here is todays progress, finished up the headache rack, and glued some more bits onto the frame, also got the cab and hood clear coated.

Is it done yet? This is gonna be good, really looking forward to this coming together.

Got a bit more done last night, power train is now ‘in’, and lower exhaust is on. Few more bits to put on the chassis, then I’ll focus on the cab, hood and interior.

Pretty sure I’m going to steal that color combo for a future build…..

Thanks guys. It’s officially a roller…., well, on its permanent wheels , lol.

Gorgeous truck, well done!

I hear ya on preferring lacquer paints, but your cab sure does look good, chassis looks fabulous as well.

Very nice. Looks gigantic next to the other truck.

Looking good! Great start on the rack too.

That looks incredible! If I might add my two pennies,…., it needs a bull bar out front, post apocalyptic radiator repair is virtually non existent, and a winch seems like a must have for those unexpected incidents.

Man o man that looks terrific!

Little progress today….

So far, I’ve done 2 coupes and a roadster, frames in each were a tad warped, nothing crazy, just a bit off. A few minutes of careful twisting seemed to bring them back square.
