It is krylon pumkin/saftey orange I am thinking of adding some black racing stripes when I get my stuff from storage. It has a 2 tone flat black and flat gray interior and from the photos of under the hood I see I missed some detailing will have to fix that. I also need to either repaint it or find a way to get the little spots ofglue and paint off the body so it can be polished. But for the first build in 3 years I like it now just if my second build would go this easy I am trying to do a mild custom 1971 Hemi Cuda with some parts from a 1955 Ford F100 Street rod pickup so far have the steering wheel, Rear axle, Wheels and tires going on it from the F100.

This is my first completed build in three years finally got back into models after being away. I cut the molded exhaust off because it looked to small and want to add dual exhaust to it. Still needs exhaust but with my limited budget and not having my parts bin it will have to wait until either the first of next month or I get my stuff out of storage.

Looks Great

looks like a great start and has given me a idea which way to go with next build

cool good save killer ride would like to build one like that it just looks like something I would drive down the street with a machine gun on the back

nice one looks great and sounds like it will be a cool one when finished makes me wish i had bought something I could build a custom out of

Cool looks great I have been thinking of building one when and if I ever get my things from storage have a messed up F250 Pickup with good frame. it is a diffrent build and I really like it

Nice it looks great IO like the colors looks like something you would see out on a trail

Looks killer Love the color and the wheels are great to nice work on it

Nice one so far like how it is coming along I like lifted trucks with big tires. hoping to get back to model building soon got a bit of money so can finally build something to keep me sane and give me something to do with my free time got to much right now.

Just found this while doing research for a new build finally going to try and do something again. Saved up a bunch of electronics parts from cleaning up where I am staying and got a El Camino missing the hood, glass, interior tub, and axles but have idea for replacements for now. Also got the car I was working on cleaned up enough to work with now. I have some questions and was wondering if any one can help me 1) where do I look for post Apocalyptic motors any picture sites 2) when doing stowage do you fold a sleeping bag or use one layer? 3) what kind of junk is common stowage on these vehicles? also any other sites where they are building these kind of models?

Well I went to far with the damage and the El Camino body is now a bunch of parts so I am working on a plan to use what is left and make a diffrent idea for it just waiting to get the right stuff to rebuild the body then I will see how it goes. Gives me time to scrounge up all kinds of junk to use on it.

My paint is some old water colors I found outside and I did not get enough water mixed in when I painted it I thought I was done when I painted it that is why i painted it. and as for the burn I smelled the paint powder and think the paints may have been exposed to gas is why they are burning. as for how I am painting it i either use a old cotton swab or a small stick and put it on then spread it out I wish that i had my tool kit so I could do better work. Missing xacto knie set, hobby saws, rotary tool, paint brushes, files, etc. using a pocet knife and lighter to do all my work. I think that I am going to just build this one as a junker and do anoter one better as I have got a few ideas after I did this one want to do more of a traveling salesman type vehicle with a hommade wood box or racks on the back covered in all kinds of junk. Ths is just to help pass time until I find work and can go get all my kits out of storage and do some real builds again and no big loss on this kit I got it for $3.99 at a thrift store. I added a few more dents to help it look more junk yard find. as soon as I get glue I will move on to putting it together.

Did a little work today dented the right front fender, added a motor and transmission sized dent to the bed floor added a second dent to the right rear of the bed. Bent the hood a bit more and added a couple of small holes for small caliber bullet look. I am trying to to decide if I want to use the tailgate or build one out of some wood strips also thinking of building either a covered wagon style bed cover or some kind of wood bed deal like racks or a hommade canopy where so I can hang all kinds of junk on the sides. Kind of a nomad type vehicle is what i am thinking. any suggestions? dulled interior today so i waited to get pics until it is dry but it got dark before paint dried so maybe tomorrow. and might also take some of the new damage

Athe dark spot on the front of the drivers side fender is one of the dents i had to cover it back up after the watercolor mixture i used for rust chipped and burned while heating the dents. thedent i am not sure about is behind the passengers door where the roof meets the bed. I think from what it looks like I may have added a few more dents to it since I took pics. I broke the lower half of the drivers fender off to make more damage. I have a blured interior shot and close ups of the dents when i get time and good weather I will take some better pics of the interior. the black tub on the axle is just there for now to cover the metal axles that are bent. It fits the tires so I used it. may leave it and scratch build my own axles. Not sure if it will stay 2 wheel drive or be a 4X4 later on using what I have for now. want to get weapons to add to it have some stuff to stow in the bed. See what you think of the damage is it to much or could I maybe do a bit more want to dent the bed floor like something got dropped in it. The Blue in the pics is the interior i was painting it blue when build was more street machine. Need to dull it down more I see used muddy color on it.

Nice I like the Road Runner parts working into this makes me wish i could have found my 2 D50 models when I moved in 2008 had one kind of along this idea only was using Dodge nascar motor and think I had cut front to tilt open had some tires planned to make it a street machine like i saw done to S10's in the magazines. the other was still in the box and was no where to be found so it got left hear they never did find it. because i had asked if they found them to save them for me oh well now i want to get one and then get my parts out of storage and try some ideas with my own build like this.

Nice color looks like it will be another great build cannot wait to see it done

I was only going to be here a few weeks with out my stuff and had little room in car so I had to leave stuff in storage. That was in July now almost year later still here with out any tools, Paints, or glue and no money to go buy any besides i do not know if there is a place to but it in this town. Build looks great and thanks for telling me how to do a scale lift kit I will have to try it out when I get a good pickup or even on my Post Apocalyptic El Camino project. like how this is coming along

I put the car aside after removing the roof to make one that I like the one on it was to thin and cracked when i tried to cut some execce plastic from the inside of it. Now I am working on a El Camino based one so far i have found some cheap hot wheel sized monster truck tires for it, painted it to look rusty and did my first damage to it never did anything like dents before I made one behind the door that looks like it hit a metal pole, dented the rear fender, dented tha A pillar, dented the left front fender and removed a piece and dented the rear lower part of the bed, and made a dent to the left front corner of the hood. Might do a few more dents want it to look like it had been in a wreck before they found it. Also thinking of scraping the tailgate and using wood strips for one to make it look like it was missing when the driver found the El camino and not going to use grill or bumpers will scratch build some from either drinking straws or round tube i have around. will get pics if weather is good tomorrow now that I look the dents might be to much is there really to much damage for one of these post apocalyptic vehicles.

Looks good so far I wish i could get my kits out of storage miss working on models I have a few but no tools to work with. every time i try to do something with the knife i have i cut myself and say thats iI quit for a while. Nice uild keep posting the pics I cannot wait to see it done and the lift kit sounds cool i wish they would make kits cheaper and sell them in more places.

Nice builds and no i am not tired of seeing the Blazer I see something diffrent on it every time I see pics of it guesse i should just look at them longer. Love the scoop on it your builds are great keep up the great work.

Looks like an interesting set of builds here nice work so far

Nice looks great Love the roof rack, grill guard and tire/ wheel combo all make it one great H2

Looks great like the engine detail the suspension looks great this is turning out to be one great model cannot wait to see it finished.

I like the color and this is starting to be a wild ideaI see many other motor options that may one day make it into my collection. i want to rebuild my uner collection i had until a move forced me to down size
