lowtidelarry7 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) This kit was a bit challenging,fitting the body to the frame and tailgate required some modification,tried a different technique on the paint to achieve a satin type finish rather than all out gloss,not perfect but overall happy with the results.

Skydime Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Very Nice! I always like these down in the weeds like this.
PappyD340 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Very NICE 55, great color choice and I love the stance, great job!!
Ford guy Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Steve that's a nice looking truck. Great build. Love the color and the stance. Cool choice of wheels too. What's that super cool engine in that great looking Chevy?
Danno Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Nice looking truck. But . . . are those finned flatheads on a Chevy small block? (Hard to tell what's going on from the pix.)
Sixties Sam Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Very nice! Great color and low stance. Sam
Chris White Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 love your truck, stance is perfect, colour is spot on, motor.....is that a flat head in a Chevy.......that's what modeling is all about. I respect your right to choose
bpletcher55 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 NICE JOB ON THE 55, STANCE , WHEEL,S , PAINT, ! BUT WHAT,S UP WITH THAT MOTOR ? !
espo Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Steve, Your step side looks outstanding in everyway. The 32v Corvette engine is a unique choice. I would like to know how you got the windshield to fit. I have been working on this very same model and the windshield has given me fits, I just put back in the box for another day.

I had the same issue ,there is a lot of gap in between the windshield opening and the glass,what i did is build up the inside with putty and sand it down until the windshield fit better,then paint inside the cab and out and ,then apply a very small amount of cement on the sides with a q-tip and hold until it sets,hope this helps.
