Whitman80 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Started my 3rd build yesterday. Its the Revell 41 Chevy Pickup. Looked over all the parts and everything looked OK. Lowered the front and rear end after building some lowering blocks, which was pretty easy. I am going to do this project as a beat up, old weathered hot rod. So far its been really fun because you don't have to worry about getting the paint perfect Let me know what you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added ignation wires and and radiator hoses. This is the first time I have every put these on my models. It was a challenge but it really made the motor look better. I also started weathering the cab. Let me know what you think about my color choice for this truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I like it! What are you using for weathering? That is something I would like to learn. I recently added my first set of igniton wires and I can honestly say it makes a ton of difference! Keep up the good work. Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you use a spay fixing agent on it so the chalk doesn't rub off. Thanks for the positive comments. Whitman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
