Nice Start! I've got one in the long queue line here. My Uncle had a '78 Silverado that I absolutely LOVED. I've got the paint for when I get to it. This isn't a picture of his truck, but it was these colors. It had Keystones with Firestone Firehawk RWL tires. I've got a set of wheels too. How do you plan to do the trim? Ive got a picture from an online parts supplier showing the trim in place. I'm not sure how to print it in 1:25 scale to pre bend styrene to make the trim.

Cyprus, are you a Good Boy? 20241231_163453_001.mp4

Skull Banger!

The clear looks good 👍🏻 It looks really good in the sun! Lil buffing and itll be real nice.

WOW! Little orange peel, but that should buff up real nice.

Now they just need yo cure

Laying down some clear today

Absolutely!

18-ish years ago, my wife bought a skull for Halloween decoration. One of the dogs got a holt to it and perforated one of the eyebrows. She was going to toss it. I said give me Frank. I painted one of his teeth gold. I would hide him in one of my sons' rooms and wait for them to find him. Then they'd hide him for me to find. We still do it! Frank showed up Christmas day! He's a Pervert by the way! Hiding in my shower! Looking at the old gold paint on his toof, I decided he needed an update. So I washed his mouth with soap and applied gold leaf to his tooth.

This is Cyprus. He's 5 and hangs with me wherever I am. He sits right by my leg while I'm working. He has 0.0 concept/concern for my personal space.

Going to clear the body tomorrow. I'm detailing bits to get ready for assembly.

You know that voice that says "Go ahead, 1 more coat. Just one more teensy weensy coat. That's all" I ignored it.

Primed up and ready for some green

Yes. These are the 15" ones since the kit has 15" wheels.

I Dig it! I worked for a guy in the '80s that is a '63 Impala fanatic. He taught me how to "cruise" in his convertible SS. "Slow down boy! Drive 10mph slower than the speed limit. Make'm look at you!"

We had one growing up. This is AWESOME!

We have color!

WOW! I read these were twice the price of a Z28.

This will be my 1st show-attendee/participant. What's the best way to display a model? Are there rules? Dos/Dont's?

All primed up and ready for some color tomorrow. Got a new sticker for the paint racks.

Working on the stance. I could go lower, but it wouldn't be believable

I have the ground effects curing in place. I'm going to cut and form another piece of clear styrene. What's the trick to bending and avoiding white marks in the bend?

I'll remove the "header flanges" after the cement cures. I've got the exhaust fitted to the "427" manifolds.
