I've had this kit for a few years now. Been looking it over and over trying to figure out what direction I wanted to go with it. I've thought about stock.. thought custom.. thought slamming it... Even seriously thought about tubbin it out. But even though I've been wanting to build it so badly, I just keep putting it back on the shelf and putting it to the back of my mind... That was until I got home from my bands NYE gig... At 4:05 am, after working all day, playing all night and tearing down til the weeee hours of the morning, I walked down the hallway to the "closet" and jerked it all the shelf and tore into it. Sanding, washing and primer began.. The idea formed into a farm truck/barnfind/hand-me-down that has the beginnings of a resto job... ie: young kid with big ideas and a little bank account... or a father son project... or boys first truck.. I know, I know... I'm undecided. But they all work for this.. Primered with Tamiya Red primer.. then salted, painted with Tamiya Olive Drab and scraped.. Then sanded back with 1500.. then Tamiya weathering powder. As always, thanks for looking...

Picked this up in September It's been about 10 yrs since I've been in a truck. I had to do something after the kiddo wanted my Impala (seen in the background). These are hard to find around here, and the deal was too good to walk away from. So far I'm LOVING it. 3 months and 5k miles.

I'm in. Been a while since I jumped in on something... I'm going for the bullit charger. With these... And what I left, will make another General haha

Looking good, Mike. That chassis and engine are definitely looking the part. I like how this story is rolling, too!

Coming along nicely there Mike. I kinda like that grill idea. I'm going to study that a little bit.

Wow Joe, that color looks good on the old General... I used Hugger Orange on mine, but this might just be better.. But then again, if you watch the show any orange will do ?
-
And just like that, BAM I'm sucked in... Looking forward to what you do with the Charger Mike!
-
Off to a good start, Joe. Following along!

That is a very nice weathering job. Looks like the trucks I saw sitting around my little town when I was a kid. -

Looks good. Very nicely done, Lee.. I think better than mine. I see you had the same issue with that one front decal I did lol. But was definitely a fun build.
