I had this posted in WIP, and it was suggested since I had finished it that I needed to post it here as well. I hope to build a Texaco Gas station diorama one day and this would be the stations service truck for it. The kit is an AMT/ SMP that came with a trailer, built pretty much box stock, painted gray. I already have several trucks of the normal truck colors, and I thought the gray was a nice change. A little details in the interior. Comments always welcome good or bad.

Works for me!

So I’m curious, what chassis did you use under the Comet body, several schools of thought on this obviously. I would love to see some other pics of the details, looks amazing!

Very cool!!

Wow Joe, just amazing, awesome motor!!!

Excellent work, looks to scale, something I struggle with.

Thanks Kenneth, you are correct. It keeps being mistaken as a pro stock. That’s what I get for building an obscure model. The car is a small block Chevrolet powered Maverick, it ran D/MP and sometimes D/G. It would never be allowed in P/ Stock.

Very very nice!

I revisited this thread this morning and it seemed to be lacking a lot, especially after the time and research I spent on it.

Great save!

Very nice

Great work Rusty, it came out very nice. I totally get the in my world thing ! I’m always in my head world,

Wow Glen, that’s beautiful. Very clean build, looks accurate, let’s go for a ride!

There beautiful, great work. Like so many of us there is no substitute for a 70’s Pro Stocks. Good Times ,Good Times!

That’s awesome!

Coming along amazingly Joe, this is going to be beautiful!

Looks period perfect, great save, I love how it came out!

I love crazy stuff, especially when it comes together!!!

Thanks everyone the body came out very nice actually, now to start the re-engineering process.

I started working on the body, as I mentioned in the beginning the body was painted with lacquer and the plastic was crazed. I spent almost two days sanding .scraping and rescribing the panel line’s, if I can’t save the body, there’s no need to continue. I started with 400 grit, primer and 600 grit, I think I’m good to go .

Came out great!

Very nice, looks great

Very nice Ray, great stance.clean build!

Well done, looks great!

Wow Francis, I’m following but I don’t comment much, I’m just in awe! Amazing work my friend!
