gautreau Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 Thanx fellas I hope to be back on this build soon.
Droppedgmc Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 so what model kit was this that you used? Love the build! Thanks
gautreau Posted October 11, 2012 Author Posted October 11, 2012 The base for this kit was The AMT 1984 GMC.
gautreau Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Small update.I started to lay out the exhaust. I'm using 3mm solder and the kit mufflers. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy.
gautreau Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 Finally got to work on this build again. I took a skull made by Scale Dreams and turned it into a switchbox for the air-ride. Scratchbuild a driveshaft. Then a club member pointed out that there was very little travel room for the driveshaft without it snapping.So, I modified the lower section of that x-member. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy
gautreau Posted December 24, 2012 Author Posted December 24, 2012 I thinking this build might see the paint booth in the near future. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy
gautreau Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 Build a few more pieces for this build. I build a rear notch cover It will be painted silver the I will use gel pens to turn them in to playing cards(aces and eights) and spray metal-cast red on top of that. I will be in the paint booth tomorrow hopefully respraying the bed on my long box build and the frame on this build. I also built a license plate holder. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy
