Daniej01 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Here it's. Did a rear window conversion, suspension mods, wheels and tires, battery tonneau cover and a few other things. Thanks for looking
rmvw guy Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 That came out nice! The Cameo tailights are a nice custom touch and I love the hard cover on the bed. I want the 1:1 version!
JunkPile Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Great lookin' truck. This one ranks way up there on my list of favorites.
espo Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Outstanding build. Makes me want to try a pick-up for my next build. The bed cover with the lifts looks very real.
Sixties Sam Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Nice! The hard bed cover and lift struts are a great touch! Good detail on the firewall, too. Good work! Sam
camaroman Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Jamie, I echo all of the above posts and will add only one word... WOW!!! Seriously, that color is nothing less than amazing on this build (care to share what it is?) Love the cab conversion. Did you use the kit glass as a starting point? Lastly, you found a great use for those taillights . I don't care for them at all on the 1:1 Cameo's; they look like they almost had the truck designed and the bean-counters came in and said "We are way over budget, so you have to use up all of these old leftover 54 Chevy Belair taillights..."
TooOld Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Jamie , I just found your post ( thanks to the new format I'm looking around more ) . Wow ! That color really makes it pop ! The wheels , the tonneau cover , and all the detailing is beautiful . Also , the windshield seal is impressive . Did you use half round rod ? Overall a beautiful truck , I'm glad I found it .
Daniej01 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Thanks everyone for the feed back. Its very encouraging. As this is only my 4th build I have done in 24 years. My first moded build. The color is G.M. fusion orange effect and urathane clear (both from Dupont). I used the kit glass and evercoat lightweight body filler to fill in the rear window conversion. The windshield was too small and needed something to fill the gap. I found an old set of ear bud headphones, and pulled the wires out. Then with an sharp exacto knife split it down one side and wrapped it around the glass. Then glued in place. It worked very well. Thanks again for looking Edited June 9, 2012 by Daniej01
