guitarsam326 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) This will be a first for me in a few ways. I havent built this kit before, and i haven't built anything but big rigs in the last 2 years since i got back into modeling. I also usually finish one project before starting another.....but this one most likely wont get finished due to my participation in the big rig buildoff coming up in January. None the less here is where i am at so far...... Edited September 8, 2016 by guitarsam326 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Looks like your off and runnin with this. Remember now, the build off is 10 months, I'm sure this will be great way to give your mind a break from that. If you put into this the same effort you put into your rig builds, this will be an awesome when your done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I'm liking this one. I want to see more!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarsam326 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thanks Clayton, this one wont get the full detail treatment.....well i dont plan to anyway. This is more or less practice since i havent built a clean model in a while!Thanks Brian, its probably gonna be a slow one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorincebu Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 That is a great choice of subject! And even if you build it plain Jane box stock. It has a lot of potential to be a fun build. Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdelsky Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Just bought this kit yesterday, excited to get started on it. But I need to learn to finish one before I start another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Looking good! I had forgotten that this kit came with a "granny box". I need a couple of them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I like the interior color. It reminds me of a 66 Plymouth that I used to have. Nice work!! Chassis and engine are looking good too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Great work Sam! I like the way that you gave the water pump that "replaced" but not painted look. If you don't mind me asking, what did you paint it with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
