Looking on craigslist though, you are grabbing the pics off your computer, not Photobucket. So it still stands that they are probably too big, unless of course you resaved the resized photobucket pics onto your computer.

Would that be the personals area Harry?

Are you posting the pics in the spots they give you? If so, they may be too big for the site to host. I suggest opening paint or photoshop and making them smaller.

Thanks guys! I wanted to use the front axle/transfer case from the GMC for another build, so I figured I would make it into a 2WD street truck. And since I love the looks of the 70's jacked up muscle cars, I figured it would work well for the truck. Plus, I'm trying to work my way out of the alternating-two-color paintjobs!

Well I finally finished this build. It started as a 4WD and was converted to a 2WD using the front suspension from the 1990 C1500 kit. I decided to go with a sort of 70's muscle car stance, with more of a 90's street truck look. I built a custom grille, custom airdam, 90's style headlight covers, tonneau cover, rear roll pan, added rear window louvers from the C1500 kit, added a supercharger to the engine, wired up the plug wires and battery, added a nitrous bottle, fabbed traction bars and lift shackles, and I added headers with header-mounted glasspack mufflers.

If you want to be accurate to the movie car, then you'll want to have the wheels be white with chrome hubcaps.

The Hurst Lightning Rod Shifter wasn't too complicated. You would put the main shifter in 3, the middle in 2, and the right in 1. While accelerating, shift the right stick forward, then the middle forward, then the main to D.

Actually, the Scout II came out in 1971.

Whatever version you go with, you should stick with the white steel wheels and white letter tires, looks much better IMO than the white walls.

As Red Green says, "when you get the instructions, throw them away! That way you can claim it didn't come with any. You'll want to hang onto the ones in another language though, you'll need those pictures later!"

Thanks! Here's the completed interior. Went with tan leather, billet shifter, white-faced gauges, and I turned a spare fire-extinguisher into a nitrous bottle. I also threw a tach onto the steering column.

Well I guess I could post my completed interior. It's stock painted semi-gloss black (front seats made to look like worn leather), and it has a Hurst shifter (stock shift boot with spare shifter). I also used the white-face-gauge decal from the Mercury Cougar kit.

First model? I call shenanigans! Seriously though, looks awesome for a first build!

Try clicking the link then, maybe your browser doesn't like photobucket... http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j269/harrypri/Real%20or%20Model/autoid7-1.jpg

Did a little work and took a teaser shot of where I'm at.

Here's a clue: the wheels are from a 90's Mitsubishi Montero.

Once I get my next paycheck, I'm going to order the wheels/tires for mine. I should have the interior and engine done soon, and I'm still working on the chassis.

Thanks, should have some more pics up soon!

Actually, hi-jacks are very handy to have!

'Tis the Revell '77 Jeep CJ-7. Since it was molded in yellow, it must have been an older issue. The one I got was molded in white. I built mine like the one from the movie St. Elmo's Fire.

Thanks so far! Right now I'm getting the engine built up, and the suspension figured out. I'm planning on setting it up like a 70's muscle car with the jacked up rear, traction bars and lift shackles, and of course some fat meats.
