moparmike619 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 This was a father-daughter build with my oldest of 4 daughters. She will be 7 in April, and has really taken an interest when I’m building models and asked if she could build one with me. When I saw the box art for this, I knew I had to get it for her: we attend the truck pull together as a daddy-daughter date every year, her favorite color is pink, she LOVES pigs, and she is helping me restore a 1:1 square body Chevy. She wanted to keep it completely as the box art depicted. I did the heavy lifting, and she helped with painting and some easier assembly. The kit was pretty easy to throw together, the only fight was with the transfer case/skid plate alignment (which was probably caused more by me than the kit.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
