Rbray47 Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 I'm calling this one done. No point in doing too much detailing given the wonky plastic. If Revell can fix the styrene issue, I'd gladly buy more, as I like old pickups. The kit didnt supply a master cylinder or radiator hose, so I sourced one from the parts box. I also omitted the goofy rear bumper. Since I swapped the V8 out for a 4.3/auto, I modified a parts box console and shifter, and even though it cant be seen, I ground off the manual pedals and replaced them with a wide one for the brake. The dash isnt complete, as the areas on either side of the steering column just wasn't there, so out of the box, there's no ignition, wipers, or light switch. Again I added that, along with the tray under the glove box even though they're hard to see.
Rbray47 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Posted April 23, 2020 Before and after dash pics. Once I realized that it would be so hard to see, I have up before scratchbuilding the missing heater that would go under it.
espo Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Looks great, sorry to hear about the kits short comings. Very nice paint work, you have the stance, and the 4.3 engine swap would be a perfect way to make it go without the rear wheels on fire all the time.
catpack68 Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 Very nice work! Looks good to me?That’s a shame about the plastic.I was really looking forward to getting one of these and correcting the wheel openings closer to stock myself.I was really wanting to do a pro street/drag truck version.
