ranma Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) I got a second copy of the '95 Brickyard 400 Chevy C-1500 pickup at local flea market in a trade deal. Since this had what looked like smoke damage (yellowed on drivers side) made it a good project for a repaint. I stripped it of the graphic's then re painted/gloss coated the pickup, and changed out the wheel's to standard one's. I added Coca-Cola decal's that came with the GMC General kit that came out recently. Edited July 29, 2020 by ranma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 You know, I would not be opposed to an actual C1500 Coca Cola kit if it actually meant this kit came out again! ( And no the monster truck kit doesn’t count) Your build looks nice and clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 If it was yellowed on one side, it was likely sitting in direct sunlight, such as in, or in front of, a window. Smoke will usually yellow the whole car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hood is just pinned shut, but can be pulled off to expose the engine bay. The real only difference between the detailed and promo is the chassis . If you have any of the full detailed kits, just check the cab closely , and you will see the front pin holes for the front hood pins. If you turn the cab over you'll find the chassis screw post, and where the pins were removed for the detailed chassis's front suspension. The AMT Ford F-150 kit's are the same between the promo and detailed kit. In fact I think that many of the 1990's promos that amt produced were also produced as full kit's. These include: Ford Taurus, Chevy Corvettes, Camaros, Pickups, Beretta,Pontiac T/A, Ford F-150, ranger pickup, and Dodge stealth.there were some promo;s never issued as full detailed kit's as well , Two off the top of my head are the Chevy Tahoe, and Dodge Ram pickup's...The Snapfast Plus line was just Promo's that you put together Simular to smp/amt Craftsman kit's that were build your own promo.
