It's looking great Bob. Nice work. I still have not got the kit, but I want one.

That is a beautiful build. Great work.

Thanks guys. Mine is the orange plastic. I plan on painting it Createx Opaque Red over a base coat of Autoborne White Sealer. Hope that will keep it from bleeding. I've started on the engine, but it's very hot here in South Georgia and my work shed has no AC, so build time is going to be limited.

Next up. Will be OOB except for some engine wiring. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Thanks. Thank you. Thanks Bob. Thanks. Yea, I hate dealing with warpage, don't really know what to do to fix it. If you notice the third picture you can see a gap on the right of the windshield, that's due to warpage in the windshield frame. I didn't take any photos from the other side. If I did you could see where the top did not sit flush to the windshield frame, also the left rear body is sitting way out further from the rear wheel. But it was a fun kit and it's just a shelf sitter.

Thanks Greg. I also noticed some things missing in the kit, no mirrors, no coil. Not sure what was going on with this one, but I like the kit and will probably try another one to see if I can get a better build. I'll get me some nice tires for the next one.

What would be the best color primer to put on a kit molded in orange? I'm thinking black, but not sure.

This one had a lot of warpage in the body, frame and interior. Nothing fit right. Did the best I could with it. Had problems with my BMF, couldn't get it to stick and that caused incorrect trimming, some I just finished with a sharpie. I shot revive it polish for the clear before I put on the BMF which may have been the problem. Body paint is Createx Opaque Red over white Autoborne Sealer. I tried to add some dust and dirt with Tamiya weathering powders to make it look like a work truck, came out ok I guess. I would have liked to had some bigger off road tires to put on it, but didn't have any. All comments welcome and thanks for looking.

Calling it done, warts and all. Photos under glass. Thanks all for looking and commenting. I appreciate it.

Thanks. Thank you. Thanks Carl.

That hotrod is looking great Bob.

Engine and chassis look great. Nice work with the foil, that would have tried my patience.

Nice start. Looks good.

Finishing up the interior, need to mount the spare tire. I'm going without the rear seat, it's a work truck so I'm dirtying it up a little.

Not really sure. She was rescued off the street when she was about 6-8 months. She's probably around 7 years old now.

Had time to get paint on the body this morning. Now it's time for yard work.

Thanks.

Thanks Greg. I hope it does. Thank you.

This is Molly................She is spoiled rotten.

Wow, it's looking great. Mine will be nowhere close. I wanted to put on some off road tires on mine, but I didn't have any, so went with the stockers. They look a little small. I noticed some missing parts also, no coil, no master cylinder, I'm trying to find some in my parts that would work.

Trying to add some dirt and dust with Tamiya weathering dust. I want it to look like it's been off road. Got a few things to button up on the chassis and I'll start on the interior. Still have not painted the body, had to glue the tailgate in to try and get some of the warpage out. It's warped all over the place, not sure how it's going to turn out.

Great work by all three of you. Lots of modifications are out of my league, I'm mostly a OOB builder. But I'm not giving up, it will not be perfect but I'll get it done someway.

Thanks. This kit is pretty bad, the body, frame and interior are all warped. Lots of flash I've been trying to address. The headers look too small and don't fit correctly. This one may go back in box before I get started good.

Starting on this one. I'll do the stock version with a few of the drag parts thrown in. Createx Opaque Red over White Autoborne Sealer. The top will most likely be gloss black. All comments welcome.

Good start Bob.
