That's coming along nicely. Is the engine coming from the MPC DM800 kit?

Very clean looking model.

Looks really good, fantastic job. Thanks for taking the time to explain how you use the fingernail polish. Looks like I'm going to have to put on the sunglasses... already have a mask ? and go fingernail polish shopping.

Yep, it's true, I didn't have enough WIPs with what's already on my bench. Actually this was started probably close to 20 years ago to replicate a different pickup, but recently I was thinking about a '64 C20 that I owned in the early-mid '80s. It had a Buick 425 nailhead, and Turbo 400 automatic, both from an Electra if I recall correctly. The guy I bought it from did a pretty nice job on the conversion. I paid $800 for it in about 1984. It had a Mustang shifter on the floor and aluminum plate covering the transmission tunnel. It was 2WD and had big mud tires on the back. That thing could do some incredible burnouts. Anyway, I pulled the model out of the box and I didn't like the way I had lengthened the bed, so I took it apart and redid it. I think it's pretty good now. My '64 had a small back window, so I'm making that change as well. I'll be putting a Buick Nailhead engine in it and building it as close to the one I had as I can. Here's my first project photo... it's rough, but taking shape. The frame is lengthened but I need to extend the bumper mounts still. Just another silly, fun project.

don't they all?

Awesome detail. Looks fantastic!

Body and chassis modifications and subsequent bodywork/finish work to make those modifications look original. Seems nobody makes the kits I want to build. It's a fastback, I need a notchback; it's a short bed, I need a long bed and vice versa; it's 2WD, I need 4x4, etc.

Looks good. The black paint turned out great.

Very nice build. It turned out great despite the challenges and complexities.

PIZZA Friday! ?

That looks great. You're the only one who sees the flaws. Put it on the shelf, enjoy it, and build another model!

FedEx isn't doing much better recently. I had a package go completely off the radar for 10 days before it suddenly showed up on the tracking again. The seller was getting a little nervous too.

Looking good! I'm anxious to watch this one progress.

Yes, she was outstanding in that movie, very convincing. And she made you want to hate her in Arrested Development.

Thank you! This is really helpful.

Welcome! Looks like you got right back in the swing of it.

I have two of the Revell '64 kits and started that long bed conversion years ago. Pulled it out of the box recently and wasn't happy with it. I'll probably go ahead and work that one over sine not much is available. That's a nice looking 62? you have there. I like the side trim on those.

Oh wow, that '62 is cool. Years ago I owned a '64 C20 with a Buick 425 nailhead. Gotta build a model of that, it was a pretty cool old truck. Hence the need for a long bed.
