At a little stand still on my other build so decided to start on another one but this one is a 65 model. I started shaving stuff on the cab at some point in time. I've took off the smoothed firewall I originally added on and sectioned a spare 60's bed side to continue the body design completely around. I still have some work to do with it but going to wait till I have a motor just I don't end up having to redo stuff later for clearance. I cut opened the grille so I can add mesh to it later on when it's finished but also took down the back side of it a good bit "Random thought I had" And it looks really good sucked in a little bit now that I see it done. Was originally going with a molded in front bumper look like I've done on my 60 Chevy but think I'll cut it out and run a stock bumper either smoothed and painted or smoothed out and re-chromed just so they aren't too much of the same. I will be molding the grille into the front end but just enough to fill the gaps and not to take away from the overall appearance too much. I don't have much plans in mind for this one yet but it'll definitely be unique in the end.

Looks incredible!

I just discovered him over the weekend. I love the quality and how quickly he got it out also! Already have a few other wheels saved for future builds lol. I've been thinking of smooth door panels or at least smoothing out the factory look and making my own panels to add onto them. Maybe whatever I do with the door panels could get implemented into the headliner as well. Part of me keeps eyeing the thought of a newer style interior like the 99 Silverado perhaps but with a lot smoothness added to it.

Thank you!

My take at the Revell 84 Chevy C10. Built a full frame to lay it on the ground and be body dropped on 24 inch wheels. "their a mix of a Raceline/Intro design" Took a 5.3 from the 99 Silverado kit and just painted it to match with an aftermarket air filter on it. The frame has two 3D printed tanks and compress incorporated into it. I shaved everything on this one, opened up the sunroof and molded in the front bumper, grille and hood to just give the truck a more slick look, plus to just be different from all of the other builds of these trucks. The grille is just some random mesh I had laying around from something else and LED taillights are a decal I had printed. For the interior I built a center console with a single sub and shifter. The dash was completely smoothed out getting rid of the vents, radio and even the cluster. It has a scratch built box sunken into the dash with a different cluster decal to just be slightly more custom. I don't remember the name of this color but it's a rust oleum paint color.

My Intro Vista's from Jay's resin wheels showed up this afternoon. Running a 24 inch with a decent rear lip. Will start chroming them tonight so hopefully soon I can start building out the frame for this thing. If anyone has any interior ideas please share! I'm not entirely sure what to do with it. I want it to be custom but also not completely take away from the 60's era of it lol.

Thanks everyone! 🤙

Decided to use the hood from a 65. I'm not a big fan of the hood that came with it. The hood is molded into the fenders, cab and front clip to just carry over little more of the custom touch like I've done with the bed. Even with majority of the hood being like this you can still plenty of the engine department. I've also tucked in the front bumper a little bit and started molding that in as well as getting rid of the rood cap "Not sure what it's called" But without the roof just has a more fitting look to the rest of the body mods. New wheels should be here later today and hopefully soon the big block twin turbo motor that's going to be in it.

I started on this 1960 Chevy pickup back in 2019 for a build off and essentially never made it much further than what you see you in the pictures. I made the truck a unibody and took another 60's bed to carry the bed side design into the tailgate. There's a lot more custom work I'm doing to the body alone in the next couple of days and will also be cutting out the bed floor I originally built as I'm wanting to build a frame to show off rather than hide.

My 1990 Ford fox body Mustang I laid completely out on 22 inch 3D printed wheels "Don't remember what their called". Shaved the door handles and few other small details off of the body. Used the motor the kit had came with but just painted it. The interior is where majority of the custom work was done. I eliminated the factory cluster to give the dash a more custom look with gauges mounted into the middle of it, scratch built center console and full sub enclosure where the back seats used to be. Has 3 fairly big subs, amp and a nos bottle.
