The real gravel detail is outstanding as is the whole truck and trailer. Is it all gravel to the bottom? Or did you use a "false" bottom? I wanted to do this on my trailer but I was afraid that if I fill it up with gravel it would be too heavy on the plastic. I also thought of about mixing the gravel with glue and put a false floor so I would not need a lot of gravel but never got around to do it.

I honestly say, "WOW!!.

I think I remember you posted a few questions with problems with the two tone paint. Your effort and perseverance paid off.

Actually a little too low on the front. But once you put the glass, it is hardly noticeable. When you look at the passenger side you can notice in the photo a little slant. Hope this helps you.

This is something special!

Ok Clayton, I'm with you.

Mine is!!

Now that you mention it, yes, I have seen a few around.

I vote for the Cat Bulldozer.

I look at those pictures and it makes me want to drive a truck like that. Are you going to put a load on the trailer?

Well deserved Tim.

Is this your first truck?? You look like a Pro to me. It is beautiful!! You say," I honestly do not know why my hood hinges raised the level of the hood up." Check the radiator, it could be a little too forward and holding your hood up.

Ok, I think I'll leave alone and as you guys say, do some details and that's it. Thank you all for your great responses. Truth is that I learned a lot of things with this project. Mistakes that I did not repeat on the next projects.

Added the rear quarter fenders and gas tank step.

Thanks all. It's actually red.

I thought of doing that but it is a nice kit that I like. I'll check out that purple power Christopher. The paint I used is the regular Testors. Thank you guys.

I did this one a while ago when I was just starting again in this hobby. I painted it first yellow. Then I sanded it to paint it blue but the paint job came out horrible. Next I'll try brake fluid to remove all paint and start over again. This one of those Snap Tites which can be easily disassembled. Is there a better method than brake fluid to remove paint?

This Mack looks nice man! Black is a color I've never been able to do right. But I see you can do it right.

Added some stickers and trailer cables.

Nothing fancy but I had fun doing it. This is a great kit to modify. This is the Pete from the kit shown in the box in the background. I'm still doing the final details.

Chris, I got to ask you, where did you buy this kit? It is beautiful !!

Thank you Tom. That's a great simple tutorial. I thought it was a lot harder than that. I might even start weathering now.

Thanks Rambenna.

Beautiful Chevy. I have this kit in my "To buy" list. Is this kit molded in white?
