shoopdog Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Finished this a couple of weeks ago but just was able to get some pics. Was worried about glass fitment that I had read about but mine pretty much snapped in place. Painted in Tamiya TS49 Bright Red with their TS79 Semi-Gloss top coat. Opened up the grill in what seemed to take hours! Unfortunately couldn’t get the front end down to level. Thanks for looking. 2
Belugawrx Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Sweet ! Nice job on the grille ? I'm glad they fixed the glass fitment, mine has a .03mm gap at the bottom.
Zippi Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Great looking 55 Chevy pickup. Love that red. I build this kit last year.
happy grumpy Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Nicely done. I like the satin finish. The grille work was well worth it.
espo Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Great looking build, just like the box art. You mentioned the windshield fitment issue, and that could have been me complaining since the one I had was way undersized. Glad you didn't have that problem. The chrome trim looks very cleanly done.

ewetwo Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 You did a nice build out of something have heard can be very finicky.
