Sneak Peek - 1979 Ranchero GT

[TooOld]

I've been working on this body for about a year and it's close enough to start adding the window and bed rail trim . It still needs some work on the wheel openings and I haven't even started the interior , pickup bed , or tailgate and taillights yet .  It will be painted Dark Jade Green with Gold stripes , Rays Kits printed some gold decals for me last year but for this mockup I just printed some black stickers .   I was hoping to have it finished this year but now it's looking like next spring .

I seem to remember someone offering this kit in Resin,i think it was Gerry Chevalier,not sure if he's a member here though.

WOW, that's looking really nice. What did you start with for a base model? I've been looking for one of these for a long time now. I want to build one of my fathers 1:1 79 Ranchero.

Hi Bob! 

As a former Ranchero owner, I can say your model is really impressive. Can't wait to see it completed. Bravo!

I seen this fellows name in another topic. Is this resin body still available? and if so please tell. I'd love to score one. An old buddy had a '70 with a 429 cobra jet with a shaker set up, hide away head lights, wood grain siding and a set of turbine style wheels. He had that car for years. He ended up selling it and never forgave himself for it. The car ended up in a flood and was a total loss.

That is totally AWESOME
