There wasn't any pads or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Oh no!!! The place is getting overrun with kids!!! Good to see young people enjoying the hobby!

Odaroloc24 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Here are some more of the interior finished. This one is with a clear coat on it. Body done with clear coat. One of the completed chassis. I painted the air filter black and it just looked plain to me. So i decided to do this to it. There was some red paint that went under the paint so i took my little testors bottle of black and i touched up the edges. Before After Now i need to find pics of the finished product.

Odaroloc24 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Here is some of the finished product. Ok this front tire is a little messed up. The little thing that snaps into the wheel broke and i tried to glue it back. It look really good when i glued it but i guess it wasnt totally dried and it stuck that way. Well there you go. Its all done! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odaroloc24 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks guys! WoW! Its been forever since i finished this model! Ive since turned 18 and have bought two real people trucks! 1971 GMC Sierra Grande with a 7.7l Cadillac 472!! And also a 1978 GMC Sierra Grande 2500 4x4 4-speed! I love them! Ive rebuilt 3 carbs, 2 transmissions, and im rebuilding a mild 350 for my 71. Deadline is may 1st for the first car show of the season. Ive finished the 65 chevy pickup in my signature and im almost done with a Pro-street-ish 72 GTO and i just bought a 66 mustang GT350 kit and started that a few days ago. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microwheel Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Way to go Mike, it really is nice to see more of you young people getting into the hobby. Sure wish my son took more of an interest in it. He's too busy with Xbox LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure wish my son took more of an interest in it. He's too busy with Xbox LOL Thanks! Ive gotten one of my best friends into modeling as well! We're both doing the 66 GT350. And i understand the video game black hole! I was addicted to World of Warcraft for a few years. I still play, but not as much anymore, ive realized that some things are more important than games. And now with two classic trucks, i need the time to keep them running lol Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
