PierreR89 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Started on this last thursday and got it done today. The decals were the worst part as they almost did not want to release + the size of them. Did not paint the frame at all since there are almost no details on it and no engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Good looking pair. Thinking of starting one of these as well, but at a glance , I can’t figure out how to stuff the interior into it if I build the cab first ....., any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweeper Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 the interior mounts to the floorboard then slides into the cab from the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierreR89 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Thanks. I did almost as the manual told me to do exept a few things when mounting the interior. The manual want you to put the firewall, sides and backwall as one piece and then slide in the interior from the bottom I put the sides and back wall togheter then i put in the interior/floor to stabilize everything. You cant put it in the wrong place or to high in it as there are 2 cabinettes you glue to the cab sides and the floor will only go up untill they touch eachother. Put them exactly where the manual tells you to and everything will line up. Then after that i put on the firewall to get it as one piece. I tried it as the manual showed and everything just fell appart and i would need 2 extra hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Thanks for the info. I usually build the cabs, paint them, then paint the inside with brush paint for my interior color, but this kit is a bit of a different animal to do that way, atleast I thought. Might not be as difficult as I was thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
