bloody amazing. Really. wow. Excellent work!

gorgeous.

well done there young fella

how about a canadian car...

Das and spare tire cover painted ice blue cab ALLLLLLmost ready. the door handles need one more skiff of fill and itll be ready... Ther colour the body will be.

well, ive been pluggin away slowly at the body, ill spray it with primer tonight or tomorrow, and see what shows up, i think its about 99% ready for paint. i hope to get some photos taken soon.

Any pics of the tread?

Iirc the 1:1 is aluminum and was a class project from one of the " hotrod universities" i recall reading about it in hotrod

Whered the rear tires come from?

While i doubt youll pick up any tips from a goon like me , you are more than welcome to follow along! Sorry to say i didnt get to work on it much tonight so no pics. Just a little more putty work on the door handles and bed sides. I think its just about ready for its last bath in primer then colour.

Tonight probably.

also, ive narrowed the rear end to accomodate the witer rubber. im not sure where the tires came from but the wheels are from the amt 68 El camino kit,

recently scored an unopened 60 chev at a flea market for 7.50$, wanted to build one for a while so i dove right in, never mind my umpteen other wips... as i was looking it over and cleaning up mold lines, i realized that all too often i rush through "the basics" just to start trhrowin paint on it in search of my next shiny paint jobs (cause as we all know, RUST SUCKS) so im Boxing up alllll my other wips, and concentrating on this and this alone. im not painting anything on the body....untill it is READY. no half arsing it. im sick of rushing the primer stage to find ghost lines pop up after the colour coat.... As for the model, it will be kind of a modern street truck style custom.. billet wheels, lowered suspension, shiny paint colours will be mazdas winning blue and gm's ice blue swapping the front spindles left to right and right to left and the low pro tires will get the stance im after in the front i think, and if not, i have a front sub frame from an AMT 70 camaro that i can graft on if it needs to be lower, the rear suspension ill merely just cut the springs.. ive shaved: door handles, wipers, hood emblem, filled all the seams in the bed, hood, and fenders, also filled the stake pockets. im having fun with this one. more fun than ive had with any other model in a while. ill post pics tomorrow.

The stoxker does have a very nice stovebolt

Its a shame because the its a great kit and its so much nicer looking as well. Neither of my lhs' s stock much out of prod stuff. But il ask the ownershow hard it is for them to get the custom version. In the short term though ill lower the one i have myself

The issue i have is a stock only model, was this truck ever issued as a 2 n 1 or customized version?

Dlip rhe spindlea left to right and vice versa?

anyone have any quick and easy ways to get these things lowered?

Early customs

Nice camAro

Never get a discount at both hobby shops in my area

Put who built it under the barn!

What a waste.

love EVERYTHING about it....except the wheels. this thing needs a set of wide whites!
