bluestringer Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 My next victim. It will be straight OOB. Probably go with a green exterior with brown or tan interior. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 Been a busy few days here this week. We had several storms move through causing lots of damage. We lost power for 2 days. All the while I was prepping for a colonoscopy, got it done yesterday, all good. I got the paint on, went with the green, I think it will look good after I get the clear on. Got the engine done. Did the bed with Tamiya Wood Deck and a Molotow pen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Got the clear on. Looks ok, some spots not so good. May can do a little polishing on it. Still have not decided on a interior color. I will do the rims in black and I got a set of baby moons from the parts box I want to try. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Got the wheels/tires done. I went with black rims and baby moons. Took a while to get those white wall decals on, they're a little off center, but it will do. I like the black/green contrast so I think I'm going black with the interior, but it will be Tamiya Nato Black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrm Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Looking good. I have a couple of these pick ups, but the previous release of the kit. I've been meaning to get one done. However, I've made a promise - no new projects before the ones posted as started on here get complete. So, meanwhile I will follow and enjoy what you do with this kit. The engine looks fantastic by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 Progress on this is slow. The weather has been hot and humid, and my work shed has no AC. I can't stay in it very long at a time. I did get the cab/interior almost done. The interior is hard to see, I should have taken a photo before installing it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelcarJR Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Looks good, James! Nice work on the engine with the wiring. I didn't do it on mine as I thought it would be too fiddly but yours looks good! 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally just took some small rubber tubing and pushed the wires in one end and glued the other end onto the distributor. It's really not the way it's supposed to be, the tubes should have been longer with the wires coming out at intervals along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
