Custom 60's Chevy Truck
dino246gt replied to customsrus's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
WOW! That's a lot of "modifications" totally cool, mostly scratch built, I LOVE it! Pearl white will look period perfect, and maybe some purple scallops or fade away highlights, or whatever you choose I'm sure will be a show stopper! I'm a big fan of making stuff, like you've done, very cool modelling skills! -

Very nice projects, can't wait to see more! -
With the hood opened up to clear the blower drive, there's not much left between that and the chrome insert. So I decided to blank it off, and those fender ornaments, they were missing, and because I eliminated the chrome hood insert, I decided to fill those in as well. Still need tweaking but I'm liking the look of less chrome. I do want to try and keep the "62 only" side chrome though.

Mike, now that I've finished my '32 sedan, I'm getting back to the Falcon and I agree I must make the mods you suggested. Any tips before I start on that rear bodywork? Thanks

Stunning work and that green interior is just so sumptuous, love it! -
Too bad they're not better, but I'm sure you'll make a masterpiece out of it! It certainly is a gorgeous car in 1:1, can't wait to see your work on this. Ciao!

WOW! That's a CRAZY amount of splicing and dicing, and I love it! I used the '50 Ford kit's chopped windshield on a '41 Lincoln I did, worked great!

I've built 2 of these excellent kits, one bone stock, and one made into an imaginary 3 window "salesman's" coupe, but the salesman sold his to a hot rodder!

Okay, I'm calling this one done on October 15th! It was a lot of fun participating in the build-off, so many cool sedan builds, congratulations to all those who finished and those who still will finish. Cheers!

I did it! I found two washers and these little "jewels" so I painted them clear red, and filled the holes in the washers with canopy glue and let them dry overnight on plastic that I hoped would let me remove them without being stuck, and it worked! They're just simple round tail lights, but because I moved the plate up so high, to cover my gas filler, I needed something like these, so they're super glued on now, like 'em or not! Cheers!

I tried to have mine finished for today, and it is, EXCEPT for tail lights, yes tail lights have stumped me! I worked most of the day trying to modify, scratch build, and fit some, but NO, can't seem to get simple round tail lights! I'm working on them, but I have to quit for the evening, so I'm sure I'll finish tomorrow! I know that the deadline has been extended, but I wanted to finish for today, those tail lights, all the heavy modifications on this build and I'm stumped over tail lights!

Very nice surgery! -

Dennis Lacy, that is looking fantastic, I love the colors! Do you need the little decals for the blower?
-
Ah, sadly I do not, I have so many tires, not all in pairs either! Anyway, I didn't want to use the tiny tires in most gasser kits. These seemed to be what I wanted, I think they're pretty cool.

Chris, I don't see any messages???

Doing a bit more work on my sedan, as I am still trying to finish by the 15th, and I'm almost there. Made some door cards out of old leather, er, I mean sheet styrene! Keeping it simple, but will add door handles and window cranks at least. Cheers!
