Finished.  This is the MPC snap kit. This one was inspired from growing up in Eastern Kentucky in the 80’s.  Dipping Skoal, listening to hank, eating at Druthers and getting muddy in your 4x4.  Hope you enjoy all the details.

Beautiful in a special ugly way. Shows all the hard use as described. You covered all of the little details with this build. What we used to call "ridden hard and put away whet".

Very evocative build :D Love all the little touches. There's a Blazer for sale a few hours away from me that looks much like this one, even similar color.  I want it...but there's sadly no place in my life for it :(

Wow that looks good. Nice little details. I love the "wash me" on the back window, you can almost see the fingerprints in the letters. Nice job bringing to life a simple snap kit . I know, I just built one myself and didn't turn out anywhere as nice as yours.

Nicely done.. dig it all. And the Druthers wrappers are a nice touch. We had one here in my neck of the woods. I kinda miss it lol

Thank you all for all the super nice and encouraging comments.  I’m glad so many of you all can relate to this build.

Druthers was one of only two fast foods we had here back in the day.  I kinda miss it too.

Beautiful job, the pack of Red Man is priceless, but I didn't see a spit cup.

The Spit cut is drivers side cup..the one with no lid or straw...there’s a small dip and some spit in the cup.

The pouch of Red Man and the rag in the filler sealed the deal for me. Awesome build!

Levi Garrett was equally popular around here but the Redman logo is so much more recognizable I had to use it..the gas cap rag was pretty much as common as was the “wash me”

Good lookin' build. I like the rag stuck in the fuel filler hole. Seen that a million times back home. lololol

I've always wondered if that would make it a "Rolling Molotov Cocktail"

Great job, I never realized that SNAP KIT looked so good!

Years back I had a 1:1 (1974) same interior/exterior colors, rims/tires etc...tinted windows and all. It was like you worked off a picture of her. Amazing coincidence. Love your build!
