Restoring an old gluebomb. Wish me luck! *Update!*


Recommended Posts

I don't know what year this Chevy truck is, but I know that it was an old gluebomb that needed help. This was my first model, I found it at a estate sale. It was originally painted Ace Premium Hunter Green. No clearcoat, no details, not even the right painted engine. The interior is in the Purple Pond. I sanded down the broken mirrors and now I bondoed it.

Here it is without bondo.

With luck, glue, and this truck, I can restore it to better-than-it-was-before condition.

It looks like the body is in very good shape.

The body is in very good shape, I built it, put it on my shelf, then it was moved around and the rear wheel broke off and needed fixing. It has been sitting on my shelf for 2 years? I can't remember but it was broken since like March, I believe.
