Car Crazy 81 Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I'd recently started on this one which i got from my Stepuncle that was getting rid of his old kits that he built 20 years ago. As soon as i got them the deconstruction began on all 13 of the kits two of them were toast. First thing i did was superglued the backsection of the cab and soon to be filled in. The kits front axle will be chucked in favor from a Revell 86 Monte Carlo SS.
stepside83 Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 looks good ill be watching this one i have an 1984 gmc 4x4 i want to turn into a 2wd stepside to match my 1:1 ill be watching cant wait to see more
Railfreak78 Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 You will want to make sure you seal the back of the cab VERY well. On this one I used a fantastic glue and bondo and it still cracked after paint and clear. I was so mad. I am not happy with this one and may actually redo it next year.
Car Crazy 81 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Posted November 30, 2011 I was going through my stash i'd came across this build i was working on a year ago not much progress the only thing i did so far is scratchbuilt a new firewall since the kits firewall was all butchered up & scratchbuilt a backing for the kits front bumper. No pics at this point in time maybe later. The color i have planned is from a 2011 Kia Soul. The color is called Green Tea Latte Metallic or GM Citrus Green Metallic a 1970 color.
Dr. Cranky Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 The wheels are just right . . . good work on the back too. Looking forward to more.
Car Crazy 81 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 Not much has been done since the last time i'd posted. Since then i'd chucked the kits bed since it was trashed with Testors orange tube cement in favor of one from a AMT 84 GMC Pickup added a set of Pegasas T's 19/23 inch. The front suspension is from a Revell 86 Monte Carlo and the rear axle is the kits Dana 60 might add a ladder bar setup for the rear havent got that far yet. The engine is from a AMT 57 Chevy Bel Air Street Machine kit that has the big block.
DumpyDan Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Truck looks cool, nice stance. But you need to also take some pictures of the stuff to the left of the truck, cause your just teasing me with the little you showing.
