kekefe Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 This could be the worst kit i have ever made...The only reason i could finished this kit; is my respect to the actual car... My inspiration was, the popular 57 chevy... I will probably paint the windshields white, and put a license plate to the back.. Here is the box... and the reference 57.... and finished model...
kekefe Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 @jantrix Thanks @danno Thank you @ryanm My friend gave it to me, probably from an old corvette kit..but you can find also from ghostbusters ecto kit..
Dominik Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Cool! Nice stance. But, your driver lost the fuelcap!
Chris White Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 if that was your worst kit, can't wait to see your best. I think it looks great. I would be happy to argue with you !!
1972coronet Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Kekefe - Super nice truck ! Very clean ! The lack of Cameo trim reminds me of the Cameo's lesser-known cousin :the GMC Carryall (no trim on the bed ; typical GMC "Bull Nose" fascia ; and Pontiac engines ).
rmvw guy Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I think it looks great, why don't you like it? I like the satin red finish with the white and the lowered stance. When you say you are going to paint the windshields white, I think you mean what we call headlights in the USA. Be proud of this model it looks great and I would leave the windshields like they are. Nice job!
Kit Basher Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Very nice work. A great replica of your reference truck. Well done. Edited February 13, 2013 by Kit Basher

A great replica of your reference truck. Well done. Thanks Hugh... Cok Guzel! Howcome??!!!?? Tom?? Teşekkurler
Longbox55 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks John..This is the first time that i hear Carryall, i will look for it... Kekefe - Super nice truck ! Very clean ! The lack of Cameo trim reminds me of the Cameo's lesser-known cousin :the GMC Carryall (no trim on the bed ; typical GMC "Bull Nose" fascia ; and Pontiac engines ). I beleive you actually mean the Town and Country Runabout (early) or Suburban (late). It was never called a Carryall. Only the trucks with the V8 option had Pontiac engines, the 6 cylinder trucks used GMCs own inline 6. No kit is available, but Shawn Carpenter has a resin conversion for '55 and '57.

Thanks for the clarification , Bill ! I just recently discovered the GMC version of the Cameo ! In all my 43 years , I'd never heard of them , let alone see one .
Longbox55 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 The GMC version is very rare, only about 1000 or so were built over the 5 year run, compared to over 5000 Cameos that were built just in '55, which was a short production year. Unlike Chevrolet, though, GMC continued to offer the Suburban/Town and Country after the Wideside (Fleetside) bed was introduced in mid '58.
Longbox55 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Re reading some of the earlier posts, the '55 and '56 Cameo didn't have any bed trim, the bed trim was '57/'58 only.
