1972 Chevy Crew Chief - "Smokey"

[Drake69]

Well, finally time to post up some pics of what I'm working on. My first build in well over a YEAR.,

Interior mostly finished... still adding a few things...

Fire extinguisher mounted between seats and behind spare tire...

Custom bracket for shovel and diamond plate flooring...

 

More coming...

Looks great!

[Drake69]

Thanks!

After a lot of fussing and fighting, got the body to behave well enough to glue it down to the interior...

I had to mount the rear gate and bumper to get the back to sit like it's supposed to, otherwise it probably would've bowed in when I put on the rubber bands. Now letting it dry and hopefully the tailgate will open and shut like it should.

Thank the maker for rubber bands.

Added tabs to the shell so that it would hold to the body better. Now it won't readily shake loose...

Still need to install the rear glass in the shell.

     Allen,

             You have that looking pretty good . I like the things you added to the interior .  Question  Are you displaying this as a used dirty truck ? Are you going to scuff the tires

 to remove the shine ?

 

 

     Be Well

I need to figure out how to make the body more "dirty" without destroying what I have on it now. I'll have to research on here the best way to do that so I get it right rather than screwing everything up and make it look forced and unrealistic.
