Beautifully done !
The engine , wheels and tires , and the paint all look great !
The windshield , seats , rollbar , and taillights all need upgrading from the kit pieces and yours are the best I've seen . . . too bad that windshield is so pricey .
Hey Darryl , Your original post was moved to the "Under Glass - Trucks " section and is still there . Not your fault , it happens . The Mods have explained before that they can't notify everyone when their post is moved . The easiest way to find it is to hover the cursor over your screen name and then click on "Find Content" , you'll get a list of all of your posts . If you don't agree with it being moved you should P.M. Harry or Casey .
Beautiful Build ! I've always liked the Orange hauler and your paint and detail work is first class ! Definitely the nicest one I've seen .
Just a thought . . . if you post the photos here instead of the thumbnails more people might check out your work .
Great looking Caballero ! Your trim work on the sides looks right on .
I agree with you that it's more car than truck and should be allowed here , but there are some who don't agree . It will be moved .
I've got the second one that you show , the "Super Trick Classic" . I bought it in '77 but I'm not sure if that's when it was issued . It's still unbuilt but I might get to it one of these days .
The door and windows look similar to some of the Diablo kits from the 90's but not exactly . And the wheel openings look more truck like .
I worked in the kit car industry for 20 years and never saw anything like this !
Wow !! Another beautiful build for your collection and one of my favorites of all time !
One day you'll have to take a "group" shot of your cars , it would be really sharp .
Welcome back and congrats on your second build ! It looks pretty darned good to me . . . beautiful paint and nicely detailed !
A lot of us here built models back in the 60's and just recently started building again so you have a lot of company .
Lots of new stuff to try . For starters I suggest some Black Wash and some BMF , not for this build but for future ones . The wash is a must for bringing out the details in grilles and wheels , and the BMF takes some practice but you will never paint window trim again !
