Belugawrx Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Calling this one,..Done AMT/Ertl kit. '99 release, lowered a bit more than box stock. although it was "lowered" a bit, out of the box I liked the all white front end and bumpers,..White is Alclad white filler primer (tough stuff) Made up the hea, vent controls, and put in a steering wheel from the spare parts collection Swapped out the 6 cylinder for a 409 out of the '62 Impala. Added a new, bigger master cylinder, and a windshield squirts jug,.. Macgyver'd in the hood supports to hold the hood open. This one went well until,..you guessed it, final assembly, I swear I dry fitted this whole thing at least 20 times, but in the end I ground out the bottom of the windshield, ground off the top back lip of the bench seat, ground off one bottom edge of the rad,..etc. All while fully painted OMG Whew....it's done. Thanks for looking in Q,C,+C's welcome Cheers Edited March 19, 2016 by Belugawrx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misha Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 That's a beaut of a truck! The stance is bang on and all the detail bits work so well. Followed your build with great enjoyment; this is the first of three, can't wait for the other two. Your engine swap is fab, plus the change to the dual M/C is a good idea. I know how it feels when it all appears to fit, then upon final assembly the quirks and gremlins appear, you've done a great job on this one.Cheers Misha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
