Is this something you might consider? (there are 24 pictures on the auction site) https://bid.repocast.com/lots/646153

Thanks for all the info, Charles - I've got lots to learn about making decals.

Quite an achievement to have it all printed from your own design!

The fenders look good, Jurgen - maybe they need to be just a little bit longer to sit lower?

I’ve never made decals before, but have had to make images smaller for various reasons, to use in documents, sometimes losing a degree of resolution. How have you been able to maintain the readability as you’ve reduced images you want to use as decals?

Great looking panel Chevy, John - like the BF Goodrich T/A tires, too!

Makes sense to start with the best quality file - might have to invest in a good graphics software program

Awesome weathering on the chassis and interior!

Thanks, Gary

Massive looking truck - look forward to your build

Sure can appreciate all the detail work you do - all the rivets, and no glue marks of any kind, the polished finish and then there's the battery sticking out from the bottom of the interior. . .

You have an amazing imagination for vehicles of all types - well done!

Beautiful colours - I like the photo of the rear of the truck, where the bumper is reflecting sunlight to the top of the tail gate!

Nice build! (I'd hate to be the person that had to clean all the rubber bits of the rear, side panels after a day at the strip!)

Great build - I like the blacked fuel tank, steps, mud flap hangers and air cleaner - a distinctive look!

A very visual story line! And a great car, too.

Great looking paint, and I agree with others - the wheels/tires combo really sets the build off - great photography of your interior!

Finished painting the sander and the top screens. Had to then sit and pick out all the short pieces of wire that plugged the wiring grommets so they wouldn't fill with paint. Made a mistake with the grommets - hindsight says I maybe should have done them differently, like attaching them after the sander was painted. Now, I don't know if I can 'rubberize' (paint) them after the fact - they are too small and hands a bit too shaky. May need to leave them yellow and not make a big mess. Mocked up the sander, top screens and the fender mounted, pre-wet tanks and valves for progress pic. Hope to start on some hydraulic and electrical runs on the sander next week! I am removing the place holder where the sand conveyor will go - also to prevent paint buildup, and you can see the little bits of wire at bottom of pic, removed from the various grommets on the sander. Sand conveyor not completed yet, but you can see how it will slide into place once it's finished and detailed better top screens in place all top screens will open - inner sander braces yet to be installed sander mock up with pre-wet tanks and valves (conveyor motor not glued in place yet Lots to do to finish off sander - wiring and hydraulic lines next week! Always appreciate your comments!

Great progress on the rebuild, Lee!

Nice build going on here, Robert

I agree! Since I started looking at builds on this forum, your builds have always caught my eye - they're crisp, clean builds, very appealing to the eye

I'm going to try all the suggestions and I got in touch with STS who are going to provide me with a proof of my decals to review - I'll go with what looks the best!

In my opinion, this year of Chevy pickups are the best looking ever made and you've got a great looking one on your bench - nice work!

You'll need to get a tall display case, once this unit is up on a trailer - great model!

These trailers are tough as hell, to take the weight of a full load. Yours looks like it's had a few hard miles already - great build!
