built from the amt 60 fleetside and revell 65 step. The rear of the cab is the 60 as the doors lined up pretty well to the back of the 65 cab. Its due for a rebuild as I didn't make much effort with the engine and just threw a ready built v10 in it

If you have any scrap small scale planes (1/32 1/35), the wing tips are easily modded into skirts. If you dont have ant small scale bi-planes will give you 2 sets and tend to work for 30/40's cars with a small triangle added to the inevitable gap at either the front corner or rear corner of the fenders. I used this method on a 40 ford coupe and found it worked well but lost the pics to poobucket

I'd like to see a vw bus, van or pick up from the 1968-79 era (bay window). I'm sure it would be a big seller given how popular they are in real life, and the how many variations they could do. Most of the parts are there in revell and tamiyas catalogue

I managed to get a couple of weeks work cleaning a bank at the start of the month after being unemployed since august. supposed to get paid today but didn't, so called them only to be told today, 2 weeks after the job ended there was a system to log into that I was never told about. and since I was honest about the work its already been deducted from my dole money.

Cheers gentlemen

The only stock height roof option was the convertible up top mate. Here's what was in the box but some of the parts were just in the box when I received it and aren't from the kit.

I had a bit of a brain fart and added pistons to the engine in one of my builds, then glued the heads on.

try cutting one or two slice on the wheel where the axle goes in, it should relieve the pressure and let it come out easier.

I finished this a few weeks ago for our club's 1 year anniversary build off. I started with an original kit from 1962 so I didn't want to stray too far from what was in the box. I couldn't see myself using the seats that were in the kit so I used the custom options from the 53 studebaker so I could have some t'n'r and to continue this on the parcel shelf I cut a piece from the 59 el camino bed cover to fit. To add to the door panels a little I used some chrome parts from a revell 37 sedan as the moulded in handles pretty much disappeared under the primer. The only mod to the engine was using the triple carb and manifold set up from the revell 50 ford custom pick up and I kept the wire axle through the block and used the tyres from a revell 48 ford with caddy caps from iceman collections. For the rear suspension I carefully removed the springs from the axle and added a couple of blocks to lower it and to lower it some more I used some leftover johan wheels and tyres with whitewalls done in acrylic pen.I added some trim to the vicky top using some 1/4mm strips as it just looked a bit to plain for my tastes. I had a lot of problems getting the glass to stay on the vicky top so as a back up I did the carson top too. For the few body mods I used one of the option front ends that were in the kit, along with the 55 chevy headlight eyebrows, and at the rear I removed the stock lights completely and used a couple of stick on craft beads mounted on the rear pan (completely forgot to drill holes for them before painting, lol). The body paint is all duplicolour. These pics are all in colour even though some look to be black and white but I'm a terrible photographer. I was pleasantly surprised with how nicely detailed and moulded this kit was and almost regret building such an old unmolested kit but they were made to build

It could be worth emailing Jeremy, being in canada he might be able to offer a better deal for you. I have a couple of his engines and I'm very happy with them and from ordering to receiving them in scotland was about 6 weeks. I know I will order more from him.

cheers gentlemen

This is the revell custom pick up. I used the engine from a willys street rod kit, and stuck the radiator in the bed to make some room for it. The front splitter is from a tamiya alfa romeo 155 dtm car and the seats are from a fujimi drift set. It was lowered by zee'ing the frame front and rear and the front was lowered a little more by notching the front springs to raise the axle up a little more. The wheels and brakes are from aoshima, and the fuel tank is from my scrap box

This is mostly the revell jukebox ford drag car, but I swapped the body for and e36 BMW and added the rear wing. This is the second paint job after the decals I added all crinkled when I cleared over them so it got a quick flat down and a couple of coats of satin black. I would have wired the plugs but I had difficulty getting them to look right on the distributor so I cut the top off and glued it to a piece of scrap sprue. This was my original paint scheme

This is the johan plymouth patrol car done as a mildish sleeper. I swapped the seats for 4 bmw buckets with the headrests removed. It is lowered as much as possible without cutting the chassis up. The wheels are from a 60s bmw sports car inside some bigger rims that I removed the centres from, and the hub caps are just thumb tacks/push pins with the tops foiled. The engine is from a broken up older build of mine and I know the wires are far too big but they are well glued in and I didn't want to damage the paint removing them. The first pic shows the true colour scheme which has a lighter fade along the bottom edges.

I can recommend iceman too, one of the few sellers i buy from international

there's a revell/tamiya mercedes with a nice v8, the 500sec or the tamiya touring cars. Most of the merc engines will be 1/24 though and are much bigger than the us big block v8s in outside sizing.

there's some hints and tips about two thirds of the way down the page on the following link. http://www.kitformservices.com/working.html

This could be a good start point but would need unchopped

I should have said I block it along the rails to start, and I completely forgot about files, lol. Been a long day

Start with 180 or 240 sandpaper until its close and work your way up to 1500. Make sure to use a block to save on low points. You might have to rescribe the top of the doors too, and if it was me I would do this first, and periodically redo as I'm working up through the sandpaper

I think there is a first gen hi-lux as part of a truck n trailer set. It was pulling a water or fuel tank if I remember right and may possibly have rereleased recently. the toyota gt I think is only in rhd. for the celica there was someone on facebook doing resin lhd dashes
