Brizio

Nice work on the bed! Few years ago I build one with a short bed.

Ok! I though I saw also one in red. Good to know. Pretty much the same headlight the CJ's Jeep had.

Thank you Dominik! Thank you Chris! Nice to see you Andre! Thanks!

That's why on the side it says: new & used tires.

Thank you David! I don't remember if somebody gave to me or something that I collected over the years. One memmber of the club I belong gave me different mesh material, and few were from microwave. THanks!

Thank you Larry! Few days ago I received a license plate from North Carolina to add to my collection! Thank you Roger! Thank you Jim!

Slowly slowly, I did some more progress on this build. Dashboard painted Added Steering whells and CB radio

Thank you JC! Thank you Ray! Thank you Bob! Thank you Tom! Unfortunatley not! LOL! Thanks! Thank you Bruce! THank you Jim!

Thank you! Very true! Thanks Claude!

Now I can call this build done! I don't know why, but when I got this kit I was expectind a new-tooling kit. Maybe the new design box... Anyway, the kit has his hicups, but over all is a great kit to build and I had a lot of fun!

Looks good! I like the color combo!

Great project and well executed on this classic truck! Love it!

Thank you Tom! No Portland, but has only 1/24-5 scale tires...

Glad to see that somebody is building a correct Jeep for Daisy! Not the CJ-5 like the kit!

Last picture under WIP...

Love it! Decals looks good! Where the decals have issues to settle down, you can cut them. And then press on the seams with a wet cotton swabs. THe few times I had this issue with decals I used a tapered tip cotton swabs.

No regular wire metal. Thanks! Criticism is always welcome, if it help improuve.

I don't have any squarebody kit that I can use to compare. Agree, if you look and measure every thing in any kit, not ony this. And compare with the 1/1, only few will be correct. But I think the rear fenders with some works they can looks better. True, if you look at all the parts, you can find more and more non accurate parts... Check the side mirrors... For me is fun when there is a good amount of accuracy and time spent on a build. Above all on this kit. If was Billy Carter personal truck, that he bought brand new or used, and use it every day. I would probably spend the time and do more research. But on a truck that was give to him, only for use Billy as advertisment. Probably is not worth... I think 3D print the tail light is too much work, they were common tail light. I have a body and parts from a Jeep CJ-7, and the tail light are perfect. I would have the same thing with the decals. Since you had to do them new, better do them correctly. Here the steering wheels form the kit (left) and the one I'm going to use, from my spare parts. Painted

Thank you David! Cool, a the end they are good tires, at least better thatn the one that came with the kit. Thanks! You are doing a great prject! I noticed the rear fenders. that's another bummer! I did not decided yet on what to do. About the decals, I noticed that there are some issues, the fonts don't match, some size... But it does not bother me too much. I also noticed that the tail light are completrly wrong. But Is going to be a fun build for sure! I have the Billy beer cans too! Thanks! Good info! Maybe it was easy to use a aftermaket bed to measure than the original. Who knows. Or maybe they measure the aftermarket bed, thinking that was a stock truck...

Yes on summer tires

Looks a good start!

Working on the Ranchero, mademe want to go back on this truck. The front grille has chrome headlights Drill the headlights out I found some spare lenses, resized for fit the hole. On the back I put some alluminum foil. Some small detail that make the model more realistic

Thank you Carl!

Nice to see this kit build!

Nice start! I build one few years ago, they are a lot of fun!
