KC FitiWerks Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Picked up a few kits for $13 each, couldn't pass it up. Didn't know the direction I was going to go with it so I just laid it out on the bench. Was thinking 80s-90s mini truck. I designed some graphics, not what i was looking for. I frenched the license plate box and working on tubbing the bed. Might just glue the bed cover on and make it a curbside. This is as far as i got this weekend, will keep you up-to-date with pics. Enjoy! 2
KC FitiWerks Posted August 28, 2023 Author Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) The first time I built this kit was back in the early 80s, back in high school. It was my first custom build. I built it as a "show mud truck with mad mudder suspension. Between the military and all the moves I've made in the past 40yrs, this is waths left of it. Edited August 28, 2023 by KC FitiWerks 2

Expand Thanks, but being in Northern California we don't have any Ollies stores here I can still get one from Hobby Lobby at a 40% off every other week, but I miss their old online coupons because they worked on anything that wasn't already marked down. 1
ewetwo Posted September 15, 2023 Posted September 15, 2023 Pretty neat. I night just have to buy one now. 1
atomicholiday Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 That’s ridiculously cool. Makes me see that kit in a whole new light. Love what you’re doing here.? 1
WillyBilly Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 Great build. Do I see a Datsun 510 on a 4x4 frame in one of the pics? 1

Sledsel Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 It is looking cool IMO. I have been eyeballing this kit to build something "Quick and Stupid" The plans that run thru my head.... LOL 1
