Ok, I know this is a 60 chevy truck but I don't know what I need to build it. I'm guessing a lot of scratchbuilding will have to be done. Any help would be appreciated. Like what kit and where to get aftermarket wheels and tires and possibly the stake bed for it. Thanks for any guidance you can offer. I have never built a truck kit before.

Maxwell, What does Modelhaus call the wheels you put on your fire rescue 60 chevy? They don't have any pictures on their site so I need to know what to order. I need the rear dually wheels for a 60 chevy stake bed truck I plan on building. Thanks

Anybody make the oem tires and wheels for this type of truck?

Looks great. Where did you get the kit?

Yes I know. It was Lee Petty in a 59 olds.

Not true. If they had a model of a 59 Olds 88 like he drove I would build that too.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the comments.

Another excellent build from your bench, Paint exceptional as always.

Ed, Fireball was badly burned in the 1964 World 600 at Charlotte and died of pneumonia brought on by the burns later in the year.

Yes you cut around each one as close as you can, then I apply black outline decals printed on clear sheet to put over them to crisp up the edges. Its very hard to get a good edge when you are cutting something out so small. You can see the two sheets on my fotki page.

yes the battery was under the hood in the stock location. The silver looking thing is the oil cooler.

Just finished this one. MCW light purple metallic paint with Tamiya pearl clear overcoat. AMT kit. PPP tires and wheels. Many scratchbuilt items. Homemade inkjet decals. 139 hours to complete. Wanted to do this car because it was Fireball's last important win.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the replies.

Thanks guys.

Excellent build.

Super nice build.

Great start.

Another beauty O.C.

Wow, OC. Where have you been hiding this one? Excellent as always

Excellent build and paint as always.

Awesome build. The best I've seen done using this kit.

Its the amt Richard Petty 1989 Pontiac nascar kit built box stock. No I did not do any body mods to it. I built a 1995 Ward Burton Grand Prix that I had to elongate the front but not this one.

Bob won the Arca championship in a car some what like this one.
