Saltie’s Syclone

[Saltie Olds]

From ‘98 to ‘00, I worked at a Hobby Store in Puyallup WA called All Hobbies. I had a nice dark red and black GMC Syclone that I did, I also converted it to 2wd ARII tires on a set of wheels, from the Tom Danial Alternomad kit. In about ‘03 or ‘04, the owner just closed everything down and never contacted anyone who had stuff on display, so I lost that GMC Syclone I did. So now, here’s my build of that truck again. Here’s a picture of the Johnny Lightning that inspired the first build.

Got the main color done. Now later, I’ll mask off the grill and paint the bumper area.

I’ll be using these wheels & tires, from the Revell ‘65 Chevy Stepside 2 ‘n 1. I’m wanting the rear end to sit up a lil taller, so I may end up using the rear springs from a MPC Deserter kit.

While looking at this decal sheet, I got the idea to build my own custom tonneau cover using these. I might also see about using some craft sticks and photoetch bed floor strips and make the tonneau out of real wood and metal strips.

Got some clear on this. I ordered all three tubes of Tamiya polishing compound, I’m going to try my hand at using that on this build.

I’ll be using some of these decals on my project.
