Well the thing is this.

I decided to build it box stock because of the detail work on other projects slowing down my

finished builds.

Weather has the painting on hold.

So I open it up, look it over.THEN IT STARTED,cut the grill openings and cut the gills on the fenders open.

Going to use fine mesh for that.

Decided to cut the lights and tag plate off the front bumper and fill the area where

the tag is to smooth the bumper out.

There gos the chrome. Oh well.

It will have a black body with gunmetal bumpers and window trim.

I'm thinking about taking the front running lights off the roll pan and rounding it to flow

with the front fender.

Also doing the same to the rear pan.

May even build a low profile cowl over the air scoop but keeping it open in the front.

If I can make it look right

Box stock,yea right I don't know when that will happen again.

Anybody else do this with out planing it?

Did the same thing with my '76 GMC Wrecker,Was gonna build straight out of the box with a few added details (Revell Snaptite Wrecker) next thing I know I'm cutting this, scraping this, smoothing this, swaping this, now it's a full detail '76 Sierra Grande K35 4x4 with a Holmes 480 Hi-Power mechanical dual boom wrecker bed and Holmes add on Wheel lift that works. and people wonder why I haven't finished anything lately.

Could always make the front bumper body color to look like the optional endura type. Find myself in this situation too often. Too many ideas, not enough models. lol
