I like the Mountain Goat one and the mini bike extra in the Elcamino kit too Bruce...Id love to be able to make a replica of my old custom 75 Dodge van someday.
You can always look to see if you can find one of the snap kits they had the short fleetside beds. Me...I need to find someone with a old 60s/70s junkyard...I have many I need to find stuff for.
John...I have polished the bodies on them before but normally I do it to the old promos I restore...its not hard unless there is any body damage.or there scratched up. I never could post photos but have some I have done.
I like it..! I have been wanting to do a few myself...the first one with be a 65 Dodge Telephone service van once I find or make what all will be be needed for it...love to put a phone booth by it once done.
