TooOld

Not much progress this last week . All I accomplished was painting the grille and bumpers , installed the headlights , and finished the taillights . These days I really struggle with detail painting like this so I'm glad it's over .

Wow that's beautiful ! Love the detailing you've accomplished , well done !

Very nice and it looks great in that color , really classic !

Well done ! It's great to see a survivor , especially one this nice !

Looks like you overcame the issues you had and finished with a great looking Willys Pickup , very well done ! And photos are never boring , the more the better !

That's one beautiful truck and one gorgeous model , well done !

I think you're right . I've made decals in the past for the wood beds , or if you can't do that then paint it and use foil for the strips .

Thanks very much Anthony !

Thanks very much Ray ! Thanks Ed ! Thanks you Robert ! Appreciate it , thanks Bob !

Thanks David ! I had fun building the bed from scratch but the rear window was a real pain ! Thanks David !

Beautiful pair Anders , well done !

That is soooo cool , thanks Steve for posting this ! I have some saved pics I found on line a few years ago and had no idea it was so big ! So many details in this that it's hard to point out just a couple but , the bat winged gargoyles and the skull tire smoke are my favorites . I always hoped I could find a kit for sale but never have come across another , any idea who the caster was ?

Thanks David ! Finished the BMF this morning . Still needs a couple little details painted before moving on to the grille , taillights and bumpers .

Beautiful paint and great engine detailing , gonna be a sharp lookin truck !

Thanks much Curtis and Carl ! Working on the BMF this morning and it's going much quicker than I thought it would , of course I can't see like I used to so who knows what it will look like .

Thanks David ! Decals and emblems are on ! The Ranchero quarter panel is longer than the Torino and the kit stripe was too short so I printed my own stripes . I'll tackle the foil this weekend .

Looks like the wet coats worked , looks great !

Well done Terry , looks like the TV Woody to me ! The wood grain did turn out very nice and I like your roof rack !

Really cool that you've honored the original with your build , I like it a lot ! Well done ! I remember talking with Paul Canney about the original Project Snowball and he sent me a link to the original web page , lots of great info ! http://canneysgarage.com/projectsnowball/index.html

I like your take on this kit very much , excellent work ! Flames ? Nah , looks good as it is .

Beautifully done Rich , if they reissued this kit it would sell a ton ! I still enjoy watching the show and seeing all the cars in Mayberry .

Absolutely gorgeous ! I like that you removed the third taillight , that's often overlooked . I've owned a few '60 Chevys and have been looking for one of these kits for a while now , can only hope mine turns out half as nice as yours !

After wet sanding and a good cleaning I sprayed two coats of primer . After drying for 24 hours I sprayed two coats of Meadowlark Yellow . After another 24 hours it got two coats of clear . The scoop is just sitting in place for now . I'll spray a couple more coats of clear after the stripe decals are applied . While things were drying I had time to work on the wheels and tires . To be continued . . .

Thanks Carl ! I've done several builds like this so it's not a real surprise anymore and it's easier now to make adjustments .

Beautifully done , it looks perfect in that color !
