Here's a build I finished a couple years back. Had a hard time trying to figure where to post it. It started as a amt '95 S-10 p/u then add the soft seal '57 to it. The chassis was stretched and adjusted the wheel base. The body is out of the box with the bed being covered. The engine is the one out of the '57 but added the induction and some details. Tried to use most of the stock interior. The floor is from the '57 and a roll cage was added.

Super NICE truck Paul, nice color combo and excellent engine detail, well done! :)

x2, love the color combo, is that a grey? what silver do you use for you manifold? looking for a satin, flat, matte silver and am having no luck.

and if it's good for the strip, it's good for the street!!

Thanks for the comments Everyone! Really appreciate it.

To answer your ? Tubbs, The gray on the body is Tamiya Light gun metal TS-42 and the color I used on the intake manifold is tamiya TS-17 Gloss aluminum And then it was sprayed with dullcoat. You can also just try some dullcoat over the silver. You might like that.

thanks for the reply Paul, that's what I figured. everyone has real good luck with Tamiya. a little pricy for my wallet, but man, does it give you outstanding results. may just have to take the plunge. looking to do a satin finish on some centerlines, in your opinion, will the Tamiya give me that look? thanks, sorry for the 20 questions....

Yikes! That thing looks scary fast. Great build. You should build one like this with the engine in the back like The Little Red Wagon, that would be cool.
