I'm done...

A special thanks to Bud Ellis for the chrome tree, it would have never happened without his generosity.

It turned out okay. Kind of a typical AMT kit for me. A bunch of little problems.

It's still setting up, so once it's dry completely I will get some more pix.

That looks fantastic now to get the time to work on mine again. I have one side of the interior done with the tuck and rol need to work on the other side now

and send my stuff Havent worked on my truck. This is my last week of summer break then i just have after homework and on weekends to work on my stuff. Also joined another build off were we are building either the revell 32 ford sedan or revells 49 merc. Will be building the 49 merc for that while building the 50 truck. Great builds everyone. 84vanagon the y block form either 56 ford or 57 ford are sweet. Robert81 is right. The 56 ford has even kustom parts for it. Speed parts. So personaly i would go with the one out of the 56.

which cameo issue. The first on or the later issues. Reason i ask is the later issues the glass fits like, lets just say someone steped on it. Got the first issues in a trade and i have to say molding is better, tires are different. and glass is good. Gona get the resin 55 gmc conversion and a 58 chevy fleetside bed for mine. Then my hydro setup. Gona be sweet

yeah the glass didnt fit on mine. mine had on the trim part on the glass it was lower end edgey and when put it in it had gaps between body and glass. The old issue had no problem with that. The glass was cleanly molded. Just thought i would give ya a heads up.

Lowriders are fine. I personaly love them and we have 2 of the greatest lowrider builders in here. How did you build your suspension. I meself made a hydrolic suspension for my truck but it aint realistic but it works. Want to see more of this lowrida. So is this the final color or are you going more wilder? looks good as is though

I Finally Got My 37 In Primer I Put A Final Coat On The Engine & Frame. But The Body Still Needs Work.

[kustom]

i have had some major setbacks with my 37 thats why no updates but i think i may have figured it out so i hope to start working on it again next week. i think it will be much smoother and i should be able to get a bunch of pictures.
