Awesome body work and good catch Tom.

I'll second that. Will be in on this one.

I don't get in here as often as I should but every time I visit this section I am NOT disappointed. Nice show with this truck for SURE. Does this kit give you the option of rolling up the center of the rear interior wall to see the sleeper from inside? Additionally, your photography rocks dude!

Nice build Dennis.

Beauty of a kit and fantastic looking build there Jim!! I've managed to pick two of 'em up myself and you're right, one heckuva kit and sets the perfect base for some pretty wild variations build wise.

Thanks Vince. Well folks it looks like Hobby Lobby had another one of these back in stock today. I used my birthday money to get it ..............after the 40% off coupon of course. After getting the chassis/ suspension setup the way I want it, it looks like I'll be able to use that information on that chassis redo that I wanted after all. I'll be back soon with a very cleaned up version of the chassis that I have here.

Classy lookin' truck. Ol Steve's right about that.........I remember a lot of these in this color.

Thanks Mike and Tom. Rear suspension completed. I had to shorten the shocks a lot to match up with the differential reposition up into the chassis as well as relocate the links on the inside of the frame instead of the outside. This kit is the perfect platform for a Pro Street kind of look. Just look at all the beef from the rear of the truck. A frontal oncoming view: and the going away view: I'm VERY happy with the outcome so far.

Nice job so far. I'm with the crowd on this one .................clear it. The more I work with this kit the more I like it. I'm not exactly in love with the metal axle at the front suspension as it is clearly visible and it goes right through the oil pan???? Other than that Revell gets a thumbs up for this one. Lots of detail packed into this kit.

Back in town after the hurricane fellas. I got the place as ready as I could and me and my family got tha hell outta Dodge till Sunday. All is ok here with little damage but there are parts of the Coastal Bend that are really BAAAAAAAD. Same goes for Houston with the flooding. We were supposed to get the hurricane AND the backlash flooding but it moved north. Thoughts and prayers for those folks in Houston are ongoing as the flooding is horrible up there. Back at the bench and will be resuming the build.

Thanks Andy. I knew from the beginning that I'd have to pull some sort of fancy foot work to get all this to "jive". Links are now located on the inside of the frame rails instead of the outside but the exhaust will clear on both sides. Truthfully, I don't know how feasible this setup would be in the real world but that's how it's going to be on this ride. Now to remove everything and clean all those nasty seam lines and injector pin marks up! The exhaust reeks of seam/ mold lines.

Moving right along on this one! Looks good so far with those goodies that you've got on there.

Thanks Carl, Jeremy, Bob and Dave. I sent the resin wheels off to get chrome plated today and the decals are in progress.

Turnin' out really good there Mike. Bummer about the transfer case but glad to see that you worked past it. Paint looks good as well. I've had the same problem out of the MM rattle cans but am now dispensing them into airbrush paint jars and shooting it through the airbrush.

I've never caught any of your builds and I'm sure glad I was able to catch this one!!! Dude this is crazy sick!!!!! I freekin' love this!! What color is that? Root beer?

That looks like its a pretty decent little kit. Lotsa lil' goodies in there. Good progress so far.

Yep.............it's all there!!! Great paint , awesome stance, good detail!!!! I really like this build..................ALOT!!!

Thanks Jeremy. Well folks, I was at home for two days this week sick. While I wasn't feeling good I thought I would do something that made me feel better, mood wise anyhow. I started by tackling pretty much the only modification that I'll be undertaking with this project which'll be mini tubbing out back for the larger meats that I'll be throwing under the back and narrowing the rear end. I robbed the tubs from the AMT 65 Nova kit which is now my "go-to" for all Pro Street projects it seems. I made the necessary cuts in the bed floor and the bed sidewalls. The cuts are a little dicey but they'll be hidden on the topside by a tub and on the bottom by a giant ass tire. and then made the necessary cuts to the Nova chassis and cut the width of the tubs down to size as well as trim/ clean all the edges of the tubs up. Here we are test fitted and ready to go. This is about a weeks worth of work normally that I've now got out of the way. Rear end is narrowed and set further upwards into the chassis in the name of lowering it even more. Had to make a number of mods to get the tire to fit in the fenderwell but I got it done. Here's the way it's going to sit in there: I've got an order in now for a Texas license plate that reads "DEMON II" and a decal for the rear window and front bumper that'll be clear except for the graphics and will look like so. Sorry Dodge fans.....it was just too dang appropriate!

I've got a couple of ideas bouncin' around in my head about another modernized "Street Demons" build but this one will be centered around the Foose platform. I'll see what I can come up with to tweak things / shake things up a bit with this one. In order to stay within the 3 month guideline for the online contest at another site I'm going to have to go mostly OOB with this one with the exception of a couple of changes. I'll be going with the OOB engine but may stray from the OOB color scheme on it. Secondly, I cannot stand the wheel / tire set up in the box so I've already made the necessary mods to accept the wheel tire arrangement while still using the OOB suspension with a tweak or two. After playing around with the stance and finding some lower profile front skinny tires for it I've got the look narrowed down. I'm thinking a deep black paint job with some silver tinted ghost flames. Yeah........we'll be calling this one.............Demon II

This build is still ongoing although I've had to put it back one slot due to a build that got moved ahead of it. Coming back to this one within the next couple of months gang.

I like your spin on this kit Jeremy. Looks pretty dang sharp man!

Very Nice Finish there Jeremy! You know......I did have this kit as a kid and I jacked it ALL up! lolol Love it dude!!

LOLOLOL!!! Now that was funny right there. Lookin' good so far Dave!

Thanks Carl for the comments and tuning in. I've been down...........but definitely not out on this build. I had some issues with the engine block and had to get another one coming. Under warranty of course.
