1978 GMC 2WD
Modlbldr replied to olschoolkid's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Sounds interesting. I'll be watching to see how you do with this. I've got quite a few of this era of pickup kits and I am always looking for ideas. Later- -
Off Road 4x4 G30 KUV
Modlbldr replied to Saltie Olds's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice mock up. Your work on this is coming along great! Looks like you've had to do a lot of scratchbuilding. Later- -
I believe you're correct. I never got a box or instructions with this and wasnt sure on the year. I dont know why i called it a 66 since the guy i got it from a few years ago told me it was a 65. I must be getting old and slipping. Thanks for the jog of the memory bank. Later-

Well, if you find any, let me know where it is. I'm having trouble locating it. If nothing else you'll be able to figure out what you DON'T want to do. Lol. Later-

We have a club in Owensboro, KY (Plastic Modelers Club) that meets the second Thursday of every month. May be a bit of a distance but let me know if you're interested and I can get you more info. Later- -
McDonald Land Car and Model Show?
Modlbldr replied to Modlbldr's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That is exactly what I found, but where is all the info on it? No contact info, time, flier, etc. unless I am missing something. Later- -
I saw a reference to this show on the 22nd under "events" but can't find anything further. Did a site search for McDonald Land and got zilch. Any info? Later-
-
Any info anywhere about this show? Would be interested in going. Later-

Thanks.That's the idea. It also ties the detail from the hood into the rear. Later-

Been sitting out on the deck this morning working on the front wheel well edges. Glued some strips in place and have a bit of sanding and putty work to do on them to get them to shape.. The rest of the bodynis looking ready for a final coat of primer. Later-

Very nice looking body. Where did you get this? I'd love to get one to do a build of a Steve Stanford sketch. Later-

I bounce from project to project more than a kid bounces on a new trampoline! Just started this a couple of weeks ago in a "build-off" (term used loosely) with SamIAm. I am using a kit that someone had built and tore back down so there is a bit of "road rash" to fix along the way. The body was completely stock so all of the modifications done in poor taste are my own doing. Rather than starting from the beginning and boring you with many details I'll just start from where im at now. I wanted to build a wild custom but have no real plan and, at times, have been struggling with ideas. None of the custom parts from this kit fit well at all. They all have needed significant adjusting. Some of what you see came from other kits or the parts stash. Later-

Probably build it with the engine from either the 62 Tbird or the 60 Starliner and do a mild custom by lowering it just a bit and either some 19 inch wheels or some tires and wheels from the Revell 32 Ford 3 window. Nothing extreme and I don't want to alter the kit. I always liked what Plowboy did with his a couple years ago. Later-

Rodder's Journal (maybe) is back!
Modlbldr replied to iBorg's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I can't wait till they open up to new subscribers. I have a box full of originals that I got from a friend and want to keep adding to them. I love them for the finely written articles and great reference photos! Later- -

Looking great so far! Later- -

Just made a deal with a buddy for this 62 Unibody for $60. Missing the engine, wheels, taillights and hood side chrome. Can't wait to lay my hands on it! Later-

‘97 Ram 3500 Club Cab
Modlbldr replied to Saltie Olds's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Looks like a.great idea! I say "Go for it!" Later- -
Beautiful details in this build. The paint is phenomenal! What color and brand of paint did you use on the interior? Later-
-
Beautiful work! I always liked the Sedan Delivery and have plans to build one myself using a body I have in the stash. I love the addition of a headliner and the wheels are perfect! I'm guessing that you have quite a stash of 32 parts and kits? I inherited a few bins full of various parts. I'm looking forward to sitting and doing some parts bashing to come up with some future builds. Later-

Mike, This is looking great! Nice mods you've made. The body flows just perfectly. I like the paint and woodgrain decal choice on it and the use of the storage container for windows. What a beautiful custom! Later-

Looks like we found a winner. Thanks everybody. Later-
