GMC Astro95

[Bronzekeg]

my first build of this kit. I have built the titan so I know what to expect. paint colors have been picked out and should be fun to build. I haven't built anything for several months so I'm looking forward to getting started.

Looking forward to seeing you build this one Ken. What colors are you going to go with?

[Bronzekeg]

thank you Dan, gray chassis and orange gold cab.

Your color scheme sounds perfect for the Astro ! Starting to see more cab overs built on the forums of late

  Ken,

        I like your choice of colors ! I expect that that combination will look really good together .

As for the Astro, I like them as I do Cab Overs in general ! Looking forward to further updates on this one .

 

 

  Be Well

I got the chassis and engine ready for paint. drain cleaner was used to strip all the chrome on the engine.

Looking great!

Love the spiders on these vintage trucks. Alcola's to me just don't look the same. It's like putting 22's on a factory restoration of a Pinto to some people it looks but to most it's silly. Gary

I couldn't agree more Gary.

Excellent work on the chassis. Always thought the Astro design was way ahead of its time. Just look at that dash, the way it curved right around the driver and the big glass area for good visibility and well cooked drivers in the summer! If the engine didn't cook you the sun would!
