Chevy pickup 1967 from fast and furious movie.

[scale auto style]

here we go. I start this project +- a year ago and doesn't made something since a lot of time. to busy making new master, casting and mold. But I join the hobby with the business by making the new set of tire and wheel of this project. ( you will see it at the end... )

I start the project witht the AMT chevy 1972 pick-up.

( THE 1967 is to expensive for my pocket ) so I will downgrade the 1972 to a 1967.

First I remove the trim from each side and sand the the front side light.

What a change... now it's a 1967. just shave the side ligth by adding some putty and sand it.

the problem came from the back of the cab. you can see at the top picture... the back is not detail because it's supposed to be a cab there. so I use my drawing software. ( in that case Autocad ) and draw it.

print it on a paper sheet and tranfer to a styrene sheet. I use a 0.020 for the front and a 0.030 for the back. total 0.050 like the kit. the result is : ( it's not finish... I have to wai the putty cure after sand and reinforced everything...

Now time to work on the back frame.

first step of the back frame is done.. and will look like this when assemble

now time to built the reinforce frame to receive the rear differential.

now will need a bit more putty and sanding and the cab will be finish.

i start assembling the RG engine... a Ross gibson 502 alley rat with some modification at the intake. and that's the result...

I also do some paint job and fit the engine to see what it will look..

a closer look of this side

the colors is a custom flip-flpo from ruby to copper

NOW the wheel and tire... $@$#?$?$?$%#$.....

I originally do this one.

but was not happy of it. so I work an other wheel and tire. I think I made the good decision.

here the result.

so what do you think of the new set of tire and wheel... a bit better no ??

now time to work on the front wheel and tire.

see you soon... ( I hope )

thanks... I hope to be able to do the front wheel and tire in the next 2 month... but with the rockwell, transfer case and crewcab project... HA! I forgot the topkick, cat 3126B, cummins 5.9, GM 6.5L diesel, dodge V10 magnum etc... to do it will be a hard time here...

thanks again
