Restored 1960 pickup and trailer.

Retored from previously built set. Original issue kit.

The before picture.

The after pictures:

The paint is House of Kolor can Blue and tamiya pearl white, Rustoleum laquer. Chrome foil. I used all of the original pieces and used a craft store chrome paint for the bumpers, grill, lights and wheels. The trailer is painted Tamiya aluminum and the belair is an older build with after market decals.

The kit came with a trailer. The description on e-bay said a smp kit. The paint on the bumpers and wheels is plasti-kote chrome quick dry. I got it at a craft store.

That truck looks fantastic! I'd like to see a few more builds lke that, where they were restored true to the original build. People (me included) seem to restore models, only to modernize them in the end. This one has retained it's original flavor. I love it!

I love it.But I'm kind of partial tho cause I'm restoring a 1:1 '60 chevy truck.Could you by any chance take a shot of the chassis?Was wondering how they done the torsionbar frontend.

The chassis is just the basic one piece promo style. let me know if you want to see it still.
