Real nice start...

[Jim B]

Very nice. Are you nscratch building it, or modifying a resin kit?

[SICARD]

Hey,

the Truck have a complete restyled frontier resin design cab

Was the Frontier Resin Kit that far off ? or are you building a different version of the truck ?

[SICARD]

Hey Vince,

The Frontier Kit was my starting bases. But now it looks like very different. In Moment I`am working at the radiator grille. More pics the next days.

I'm sorry I'm still confused are you doing this because the the resin body was not accurate? Are you building a different version of year model or something other than original casting requiring you to make the mods. The reason I ask is I'd like to get one of these cabs and was wondering if it was worth the money.

Good Morning Vince,

yes I'am doing this because the resin body was not accurate. The cab of my truck now is accurate, but it was many work. On saturday I go to a big model exhibition. I inquire there Resin for molding. Maybe it works molding my cab?

looks like another vintage resin disappointment. I tried to order months ago one of those Ford F650 cabs from Dan's models on Ebay along with the Frame for his 950 to create a replicate a cement mixer my father drove. Unfortunately it never arrived. I was lucky that Ebay refunded my $250 even though it was long past the time of refund policy. Every time I find a vintage truck I like it slips through my hands. I'll be watching your post I hope your casting works out for you.

SICARD with all the modifications you are doing I have to wonder if it wouldn't have been cheaper and easier just to start with an AMT 1960 Chevrolet pickup kit.

Vince are you looking for the Ford N which is very similar to the GMC B?

Motor City Resin Casters has a very nice Ford N600 cab. I got one recently, it is very nice and arrived in a reasonable time frame (about 4 weeks as I recall).
