Resin 64 Chevy Crew Cab Pickup

Great job on those bed rails Karl!?

Thanks, as an experiment, I found this chrome spray at Michael's.

Looks ok, like many others, but I wouldn't recommend it.

This is gonna be one killer truck. Look forward to more on this.... Best wishes from Nova Scotia...

A little update....I got all the wheel hub assemblies painted and installed along with part of the steering.

In my frustration with this cab and the panel lines, I finally pulled the trigger on making my own cab. Along with doing so, I may have discovered a way to fix them. So the resin cab may get saved yet!

Here's my new or next version...

 

[64SS350]

Still working on cleaning up these panel lines on the resin cab. Also progress on new cab. Still needs straightened a bit and body work.

 

[64SS350]

Ok, I think I'm officially done with the resin cab! I have too many models to build to be putting so much time into this one.

Here's an update on the new cab. Got the roof done with new drop rail. Cab is mostly done.

Loving the build. The bed is perfect!!

Working on the interior tub, I'm having to install a larger drive line tunnel since the transfer case was added.

Progress on the new interior.....carpet installed, door panels painted and assembled, dash needs detailed, and seats are reapolstered. (Boy my bench is a mess!)

This is impressive. Keep up the great work. 

[slusher]

Very nice clean work!

[64SS350]

Little more on the interior, dash still needs some work.

Interior tub is finished, I may find some items to add to it before final assembly. Also working on the hood detail and engine bay area.

Looking really good, nice work on the interior!

[64SS350]

Did some test fitting of all that you see, a little tweaking was done here and there, but overall came together well...

Super clean build, Karl - will look awesome all put together!  Curious how you made your bed rails (you mentioned some tooling you made?)

[64SS350]

When I need to make side molding and now bed rails, I use a one sided razor blade and cut the needed profile into the edge and then scrape along the length of some flat styrene matching the desired width of molding. The rivets or bolts are poked from the opposite side with something round and somewhat pointy. In this case it was the tip of a round file.

I will try to load some pics later.

[64SS350]

"tooling" for bed rails( boy those blades look rough up close,lol)

And since the grooves in the blade are slightly different, I reversed it and pulled across the styrene again, which seemed to even out the pattern.

Innovative idea - sure works well!

[slusher]

Really sharp clean work, Karl!

[64SS350]

Realized how much I dislike molded in wiring, and decided...hey, you should remove that....(1st pic)

I also wanted to add "extras" somehow. So I found some boards to start with and some Hemi power!

 

[slusher]

Boat is looking really nice!

[BK9300]

Going to be a great combo - I keep finding more details in your interior!

[dino246gt]

Really cool project. I love the way you're going about it, step by step, so nice that you're sharing it with us. Going to be great!

 

[64SS350]

Thanks for the kind words and following along. I have learned a lot from many on here. Trying to find time right now is tough, but it'll get there.
