Waiting for the weather here to get higher than 30°F. Then it’s on to primer snd paint.

Finally I’ve managed to get back to this. The weather here in the Pacific Northwest has been rainy and cold, but today it was sunny and decent. So I have finally managed to get this into primer. I’m thinking of a two tone, Root beer brown and bronze. What do you guys think? Thanks for looking in the comments, cheers.

I think the root beer and bronze would be a great color combination. I say go for it.

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything, the weather in my area prevented me from painting. I decided to two-tone this paint job. Both colors are Testers Extreme Lacquer, root beer brown and bronze. It came out okay but I have some fixing to do on this with some color sanding and polishing. Pardon the dust on the model but I did have to let the model sit and gas out.

Enjoy and thanks for looking. Cheers.?

good to see this is coming along.....

Nice progress. The colours look good on it.?

Getting back to the 64 Dodge Pickup, doing a bit of work on the exhaust system. I pulled the exhaust from the AMT 57 Chevrolet Bel Air Street Machine kit (new tool). It has an excellent exhaust system but there were modifications to make it fit right. I made my own hangers. I also scratch built a gas tank and mocked it up in place. Ready for more paint.

Cheers

Nice progress Michael

Finally up on wheels and tires. Time to do the chrome trim on this and then the interior. What do y’all think??

Keep smiling.

Coming along nicely. Love these trucks, like others, I wish someone would start making a styrene kit of these.

Me too.

Wonder how hard it would be to get Moebius to start one.

[carnut]

I agree with everyone, I too wish someone would do this in styrene. I don’t know though how profitable it would be for Moebius do one, I wish they would. I wonder if 3D printing would be an alternative?

Update: sorry guys I haven’t been able to get back to this for quite a while. I’ve been sidetracked on various other projects and things. I finally dug this project out again, and I managed to complete the interior which is fairly simple and straightforward. I’ve lost the steering wheel from the resin kit, but no matter I managed to find another steering wheel in my parts box. I hope to be back onto this and finish it up soon. 

thanks for your patience and cheers
