My Next Project

[nitrojunkie]

Here is a kit I built as a kid.Ive had two of these for a long time one is still factory sealed and I plan on keeping that way for now.Any way here is the plan.I will not put an engine in it so it will be a curbside slammer only with full interior and I am going to add a tonneau cover and a pair of wooden longboards.I will paint it with PPG Base coat it will be Aztec/Inca Gold Pearl as the truck was painted originally if I'm not mistaken and will be cleared with urethane clear.Bare metal foil where needed and flocking for carpet.Thinking about some sort of artwork for the Tonneau cover but undecided for now since the surf boards for the most part will keep it covered.The chassis will be cut to allow for assembly after the body is assembled to allow for seamless joints at the roll pan and valance.The kit supplied tires will not be used,they look terrible but have a nice set of BFG TA's that look much better.Will post something every couple of days on the progress I hope.Here is the start.

Yeah it is bright.I will seal it.

Here are a few more pics taken this morning.The Tonneau cover has been fabbed up fitted and is ready for primer and paint.

I have installed the front Valance and rear Rollpan and filled the seams along with eliminating the mold seams along the roof line and the rest of the body now for final primer and sealing.Ineed to mock up the suspension and see how much it needs to be lowered.
