KC FitiWerks Posted August 28, 2023 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC FitiWerks Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
