1950 Chevy Pick Up--Shop Workhorse

[Dr. Cranky]

Here's the chassis pretty much done . . . after the lotions, potions, and general gunk!

[Dr. Cranky]

Here we go, almost done now . . . but still adding a few touches here and there . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

Final assembly is pretty smooth on this kit, but the interior tub is a little tricky going in, so you have to go very slow . . .

Real wood bed boards . . . nothing like it! Love these kinds of details on a clunker like this!

[Dr. Cranky]

All right, this one is moving to the UNDER GLASS section . . . but here's the last picture, which reminds me of EYEGORE's motto: LONG LIVE RUST!

Sweet, Doc...real sweet!

[Dogfish_7]

Great tips Doc!!

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, everyone. It is always loads of fun building when you guys are watching. I appreciate your generosity of spirit.

[Romell R]

I would not want to see that on a contest table next to my build ! Outstanding work Virgil! Bravo!

[Dr. Cranky]

I would, buddy, because that means we'd finally get to meet and shake hands!

hey virgil, great build. and a pretty fast (!!) too.

that fading effect is based on a reaction between salt and acrylic color. i have it all the time. its great though.

[Dr. Cranky]

Yes, I love it . . . there's also a pitting (subtle chipping) that happens between the salt grain and the immediate area around the grain . . . it's a fun (very surprising at times) process. Thanks.
