Matt87 Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) I built the new reissue of the kit as a short bed instead of stepside I used box from monogram 77 gmc fleetside kit. I scratchbuilt the body side moldings ,drip rail moldings, mud flaps, nerf bar steps and floor mats from Evergreen products. Also scratchbuilt pcv valve , power steering reservoir/ pulley and oil and trans dipsticks.Fully wired and detailed engine and used 2 barrel carb from spare parts and steering wheel from foxy box chevy van and master cylinder/booster. Paint job is Testors gloss dark red and Testors metallic silver. Aftermarket parts from Morgan auto, Gofer, best model car parts and detail master used. The reissue is upgraded with decals for interior and body. It was fun. Almost 2 month build Edited February 27, 2023 by Matt87 6
