68-72 Suburban scratch build

There not actual decals, there are printings from the guy on eBay. A side note...I , for whatever reason, I decided to use a small dab of super glue for placement. Works great, but have it exactly where you want it.... there's no moving it after! Lol Hence my speedo is the tiniest bit tilted. I'll stick with Elmer's or clear coat from now on! Thanks for everyone following along! -

Small update on the interior. I had both bench seats installed, then had an incident with the back one, so it's getting stripped for a repaint. Here's the dash from original to finished. I think it turned out decent. -

While making suspension parts, I have been prepping the interior. These seat bottoms bothered me, so I cut them from the backs to try and clean up the lines, to no avail. So I opted to sand down the seat lines and replace with styrene. More pics soon, interior is painted, just needs carpet installed. -

Paper punch, disc cutter punch(check eBay), drafting templates, find a dowel rod the size you want (of wood, steel,??) lightly glue to it's end and sand around it. Hope this helps

Truck bed underside paint suggestions
64SS350 posted a topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Hello all, I would like to ask suggestions about finishing the underside for my Suburban build. I started with black primer(hoping for highlights), then shot a light (heavy dusting) coat of grey primer to keep the color bright. Spray canned the color, no shadowing. Did I defeat the black by using the grey? To make this more realistic, not a Pavement Princess paint job, should I use a wash of darker blue, black,?? Or a coat of dull, semi clear?? Thanks in advance, Karl -

Found this site while doing a search. Put a few things in the cart to check shipping, and each item states....USED.. beside it's respective description. I saw a few that listed boxes as damage, even gave specific issues with kit parts. Curious if others have purchased here, have to make an account to see shipping. Thanks ,Karl

Well...too late. Didn't think about that. But left in the early evening sun for only about 1_1/2 hours....all good! Thanks for the reminder!

Whew.... rebuilt! All back together, repaired a few parts, reengineered some, and added drive shafts. Painted bottom of interior tub, and the brakes are close! -

These came in on Monday....the Mercedes came from Canada and the 3d parts are from Portugal ( ordered just over a month ago). Three sets of tires, a widebody kit for the Tamiya Mustang GT, and Ford GT. Parts look nice, but second printer I've bought from that doesn't fully cure their parts. Out in the sun they go, or time to get a UV light.

So I never was satisfied with the original frame, it came together alot for the engine. This made the LS have an extreme angle back, I used the current headers to help, but not enough. I could make a custom set to exit straight out then back in under the frame, but... just opted not to this time. Sooo....instead I'm opting to customize the frame to accommodate... after all it is a 4wd. I tried spreading it first, but that wasn't enough. -
Not much to update, I'm going between two builds, like many of us do. I have been experimenting on painting the black edge's of the windows. One more to go, then I'll post some pics.

I cut a thin strip of regular masking tape and painted it flat black. Tack one end on bottom pulley(I used super glue), weave belt around pulleys and tensioners, tack where necessary, tack and cut again on bottom pulley.

Got the exhaust finished (for the second time) and installed. I forgot that after bending the styrene(from eBay) it doesn't play well with Model Master Metalizer, breaks very easily after sprayed. Also started axels... -
