BIGTRUCK Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Took a little bit to get the interior to fit, but with thin walling the body inside ,and removing the floor it fits great now. Kit come with everything you see except tires and wheels. Curbside build. The cast surface is pretty clean.

Steamboat Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Very cool. I've always wanted to do a build of the Hot Wheels Metroliner. May I ask who the resin manufacturer is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGTRUCK Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 I thought about the colors being Peach/White but settled on a Yellow/White. Cut all the old chassis detail out like gas tank , muffler and pipes then realized it really didnt matter since I was not opening things up for an engine but it does look better. Added some suspension details to the chassis and an old style hood scoop. I swapped out the front wheels with some machined ones I got from Vince"vintagedragcrazy" Nelson a while back, I think they work good on the Nash.

BIGTRUCK Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Got the interior and 90% of the chassis completed. Started on the BMF , but its not bad foiling this one, I switched back to "chrome" instead of the "bright- chrome " I was using. Once the body gets all chromed up I need to start cutting and fitting for windows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
