When they catch up I think I am going to make a order that will last me a few years,I think they opened up a can of worms by mentioning their retirement and might be hard to catch up with all the orders.

The price has been reduced to 5 dollars now so I grabbed another one.

All the metal axles I have are too short so where can I get it in bulk to cut to fit.

Looks good and I was going to get it since it did not show all that trim the more optioned trucks had but still thinking about it.

Got some rootbeer brown paint for it,most likely will get a saddle interior.

The S&H should be real close since they were mechanically the same car up through 76 and could be the same as the 77 to 79 T bird if that kit was ever available.

Its stripped and now to find a dark brown paint

Its starting to look like something again,need to figure out what color to paint it

Not yet ready for pictures.

Chassis is about stripped and got me thinking what was I thinking as the chassis was originally painted red and the body was orange.

Right now I am restoring some models I built over 30 years ago and as the paint comes off I am wondering on some why did I repaint it so many times since the first time looked nice,now on the MPC 70s Chevy truck I am wondering what was I thinking since I have seen the original paint. Red chassis and orange body and a black interior so it must have been what I had on hand and no money to buy paint.

Body has been stripped and now chassis is soaking.

Motor has been painted Chrysler blue and motor mounts made but thats been all I have done lately.

Its soaking and most of the paint is off,not sure of the color but thinking a dark metallic brown would be nice.

Can not find the airbrush I bought off a friend 30 years ago so I still use rattle cans.

Will have to look into one of those cleaners,I am glad I have found out about the purple power as i like getting them down to bare plastic.

The last one I built was the AMT kit where it could be built as a coupe or a p/u.

Never paid any attention to the 40 trucks I have seen on how the seat is put togather.

Since the frames are the same as a car and if its a 1/2 ton the gas tank would be in the rear of the frame so no tank in the cab,not sure on the 3/4 tons even though its the same cab.

Its been over 40 years since I last built one and I think its time to build one again.

When I get back to building the coupe I think I am going to see if I can get 37 front fenders to work.

The coupe will be built after I make the door lines line up with the chopped 3 window top,I wish I would have noticed that before I got started and might have to look into the recent release and see how it is to make the custom coupe.

ooops no picture

There is going to be a change in direction on this build,I am going to build it as a roadster since the doors do not line up to the top so I have another kit to build the chopped top version after some modifications.

I have another 39 grille and hood so I think a standard sedan delivery will be in the future.
