Chevy C1500 stepside custom

Been building this for a club vs club buildoff on another forum. Might still add something to the bed but I'm calling it done.

Etched back window

Thanks guys. It was a pretty quick build for me, about 6 weeks. I've got a sister planned for her, another stepside, but in Graphite Dust with Pegasus T's.

I'd also love to know how the lights were done aswell as where you got the Flamed grill inserts.

Here's a quick tutorial for the grille/headlights.

I completely hollowed out the grille.

Dechromed and painted. Then used a piece of sheet plastic as the backing. Drilled holes and used aluminum tube for the lights.

Used some glue inside the tubes, then painted them, Blue for the headlights and amber for the marker/turn signals. If I had taken a little more time I would have used pins and painted the pin heads to represent bulbs. Then used clear sheet plastic for the lenses.

Nick, the grille is from Model Car Garage.
