'55 Chevy Step-side is now done!!

[TransAmMike]

My first Pick-up truck build is finally complete. Only real glitch I had was after it was finished and I set the hood on to discover it doesn't go all the way down. Too late to make alterations so, oh well. Paint is Createx Pearl Red, clear is Rusto Crystal Clear Acrylic Lacquer. Wheels from my stash (not my favorites but I just wanted different than the almost always Torque Thrusts.)Thanks all who commented in the WIP section. 

So here goes folks:

 

 

Thanks for looking?

Thanks David. Just painted it with a tan craft paint and brush cleared with Future. Then the BMF strips and cleared over that. The BMF is the infamous new batch of poor adhesive. I actually put one strip on and the whole strip just slid right off?
