Looking good Ken

[tonye66]

Nice work. That is one of my favorite kits

[Ken Gilkeson]

would look nice this way, only the black stays though. not opening the doors because of paintwork and time. this truck will look best with the doors shut anyway. ;-))

Looking good Ken . You build fast and paint

Lookin like a dandy so far. The only complaint I have is it will take too long. These take forever to build, but I understand it as I'm pained every night trying to get a couple done and it's slow going.

never turn a hobby into work. one age group tried it and a world turned to pooh. time to peel. ;-))

usually not one to copy a real truck but I started this same truck in the late 70's. I got the cab and hood painted and lost interest. don't know what ever happened to it. this was in a western star ad back then.
