color is on! going for the clear ina few........

after primer and checked out some wheels for it :0

Here she is after some primer and putty work and alot of sanding!

Ever have one of those days! finished acouple builds off and sit here and run thru the mind! going thru your list of builds to get done some year! Well its been on mine since the 70 galaxie 4dr came out........ And after owning one in scale and let it go i decided welp enough is enough and lets get busy! heres a few pics of the progress!

Except for fiquring out how to do the black rubber strip in the bumpers shes done!! got a set of decals in the mail yesterday so i could get the passenger side finished off! here ya go!

Hey!!!!!!! shes almost done!!!! driveshaft,dist,air cleaner..........and waiting on the new front bumper and grill to arrive then can install them and call it done!!! OH and add exhaust tips....

HAve it mocked up on all 4's now LOL need to lower the front atad yet! but it looks just like i pictured it! mean and yet it is sittin still!

My first goal at detailing a dash alittle bit........ to me it doesnt look to fancy but then again i see it in my eyes LOL

Been workin on this off and on,and i now have it setting on the wheels The box is from the '84 GMC kit that has been stretched,and the daully flares i cut out of a sod buster step side box. I have a molded in red 4x4 step side i used for parts for this build,the interior (complete) rad support cause my cab didnt have one in it,the grill,the front bumper from parts box. Engine choice dont know yet, i do have a 454 for this build or may go with a small block Heres the lay out on the pieces i have used so far on this build.

Got most of the trimmings done,still have the sunvisor header to do but i will wait till i get the glass installed. Marker lights have been detail painted as well........ the scripts and wheel well lips were done with a silver metallic sharpie.

Heres what i started with, just to give you all an idea..... pretty scary eh!

And the color is on!!!And Clear :twisted: Here's afew pics for ya! Jeff J Watch out! its green! LOL

Body is in primer!! still some minor body work to tend too. The interior is painted Hampstead green dupli-color then dull coated with testors lacquer dull coat. Chassis is was painted then clear coated. body will be same color. Going for the 70s look in the green hope it works! The hood is a nitemare!! but i think i can get it after i coat it with a skim coat of two part putty.

Dont know just yet,maybe go with a small block,but that could change LOL

As you can see in the picture i ended up going with a different windshield frame,just couldnt get the other one to work, because of so much build up glue etc from being repaired so many times i decided i would be better off going with a new one! windshield frame is from a 1972-3 Merc Cougar re-issue,i was able to salvaged the sunvisor's from the Orginal windshield frame. Funny part is i couldnt use the 73 merc glass, found that the 69 fit better and will be using it. Now onto some minor body work and with any luck will have it in primer later on today........Wanna get the new inner fender wells in place.

AWESOME interior work there Jeff!!!! body came out good too!!!

Waiting on some things for the Grumpys toy I thought i would get this out and going seeings how i need to do alot to it...... Started the grafting of the windshield frame from another kit ( In this case the cat cougar re-issue will donate it)...

Think i am out of my slump and back in the groove!!!! Got alot done to this the last few evenings......And i am almost done! Still deciding about the inner fenders maybe i should go ahead and paint them white. Will post it under glass when it is finished.

Back in the groove of things!!!! Got alot done tonight!!!! Here ya go!

Dont know how i have been doing it! but i managed to start a bunch, just no go-go to go any farther

HEY Bro! guess what! i am in the laundry room as well with guess what! no heat! now thats really scary!!! I do use a heater myself and it prettymuch stays at 70 in here, its an oil radiant heater have used them for many years! and arent to bad on the power bill! Gotta keep my paint warm! cause i have a load of them in here!

Well i managed to get this started today,got it all washed up from being in the lake and started the minor body work,and set off on a mission! to get it painted and decaled! And havin been in such a slump,wrecking this and that i was about to call it quits! and when the one door decal just dissappeared in the water i had had enough! so i plugged away and this is how she is now............ Got it in the mock up stage for better pics........ This came to me about 2 weeks ago and was a built up(1974) that was bone stock! at first i was gona in-large the rear wheel wells but after thinking to much i decided not to!

Would anyone believe me if i said i had gotten my time machine runnin again.............. :twisted: :twisted: Duckin.........................

Hi Bill!!!!!!! Ya been sorta busy lately! no time to model :evil: But i am trying LOL,I look at it this way: If i am not building it i aint wrecking it LOL thats how its been for a few weeks! YIKES!

Its a slow inprogress,need the cab cause its better then the one i have and i am building a 78/80 chevy daully. Just havent decided if its gona be a 4x4 or a 2wheel drive (trying to locate a 2wheel drive front suspension set up off a MPC 1978 Chevy)
