Can-Con Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 (edited) I've been working on this for a couple weeks now, you may have seen it in the "community builds" section. I already have 2 involved projects on the go but sometimes you get an idea in your head that just won't wait. 😉 Anyway, I plan to build a couple of these trucks and this is the first. Started with a glue bomb I picked up at a show a few years ago. Rough but almost complete. For it, I cast a couple copies of the GMC style grille surround I made from scratch over 30 years ago. I did get 3 copies but the original was old and fragile and didn't survive the process. Plans are for a silver over white 2-tone, the traditional "4/6" drop and riding on a set of Ferrari 5-spokes with Gatorback tires. Here's what I'm starting out with , , , The front edge of the roof and hood were damaged by the 1/2 tube of glue used to attach junk to them. The hood was easily repaired with putty but the roof needed the area over the windshield rebuilt. I'm also making the rear pan from scratch.

Can-Con Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 (edited) Got the bodywork done except for a couple pin holes in the grille surround. Removed the rub strips on the sides and have it in primer. I think I'll start paint today. Edited May 20 by Can-Con 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Nice work so far,sometimes rebuilders are more enjoyable to do than a unbuilt kit.👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
