thank you!

Update. Engine is mostly together (still needs alternator, air conditioning pump, battery, wiper fluid reservoir, air filter & a few other things), cab is on the frame, interior is together, and glass is in. I will try to salvage a CAM2/Diehard decal from a Bobby Allison Matador decal sheet to use on the back window along with a couple of other contingency decals there & under the hood, and have yet to put together the driveline/transfer case/exhaust system, or put on the bed. For such a reviled kit, I really don't think it's so bad, no worse than the Deserter/Sodbuster or Warlock/D100 reissues or the IHC Scouts AMT inherited from Ertl.

A gallon of motor oil... part of owning an old Subaru with numerous small leaks

Finished build of the 1/16 scale AMT '55 Chevy Nomad, this is a "field find" weathered car complete with simulated vegetation growth.

Latest update.

An AMC V8 out of a Bobby Allison Matador or a Jeep J10 would be appropriate since I think IH used 401s in Travelalls

It really looks like a corn binder now.

Looks like the real McCoy to me! BTW Randy, the red truck is local to me out of Drain/Reedsport area in Oregon. It is among several 1/1 Hustlers I see from time to time and you nailed it so far.

2-tone gold/buff paint is Krylon main color/Tamiya accent color with silver marker trim in progress. Interior is colored with plastic trim panel dye.

Start on a popular yet widely disliked kit. I started with Revell '56 F100 rear fenders, a 429 Cobra Jet block/4 speed transmission to make a more appropriate powertrain, and a few Mobius parts. The burrs on the dash have been trimmed and the dash edge properly beveled since these photos, and I may use a wood rimmed sport steering wheel as fitted to Mustangs, Gran Torinos and Broncos instead of the 2-spoke standard wheel.

Balmy 75 degrees, breezy, humid, a touch smoggy from the Big Hole Fire, Emigrant Fire and other conflagrations in Southern Oregon & surrounding areas, but quite nice compared to the searing heat and sun earlier. Nice enough to open windows.

Rehab of a gluebomb I found thrifting and rebuilt as a Day 2 car.

Failed project. Can a mod lock/delete? Thanks

Updates. Got more to do and will work on this as a side project to my Triumph chopper trike in jumbo scale.

Latest update.
