Tyler62990 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 So here's my one week slump buster build turned one month project. This one was supposed to be a back to basics, low detail, spray bomb build that took a new course simply because I couldn't stand that early fuel injection system included with the kit. If you're going to change one goofy looking thing, why stop there, right? Alterations to the base kit include opening the grill and putting a piece of screen behind it to mimic the 1:1 stock grill, swapping out the fuel injection for a carb, adding a little extra under hood detail, adding detail to the interior side of the doors, and using some aluminum tube to beef up the exhaust tips a bit. Color is all shades of red from Krylon. Hope you like it and thanks for looking!
bill lanfear Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Very nice! Love the engine detail...Love the diorama!
kelson Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Great looking build!that color is a perfect choice and the diorama setting tops it off!
stavanzer Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Great looking build. Where'd you get the Air Cleaner? It looks perfect for the truck!
Tyler62990 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Posted June 24, 2019 Thanks for the kind words guys! Always very much appreciated! 19 minutes ago, alexis said: Great looking build.

I used the custom air cleaner on the one I built and had that stock one laying around for a while. Between that and the SBC intake from an AMT parts pack, I think you get a much better look than the kit setup with almost no work involved.
av405 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Simple and clean, nice. I really like what you did with the taillights.
LouO Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Great realistic looking build; and your photos show it off perfectly!
BeakDoc Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 The truck is really well done, but that diorama..... dude! What an amazing setting!
Cpt Tuttle Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 It's much harder to do a subtle weathering for a car that is just used but well maintained than to do a complete wreck, but you have succeeded very well here IMO, great build.
Funkychiken Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 The under hood detail is fantastic, great build!
