Foxer Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm enjoying your build and the custom work. The switches with the '57 parts is looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a friend of mine may have tagged me in a picture of this truck on Facebook. Your name looks familiar and I think you were tagged in a Facebook post. Funny how small the world is thanks to this fancy interweb. What an awesome build Andy. Love them trucks! Some real nice modifications you've done. That 3d frame is badass, you should really think about selling those with all the accessories like the tanks, air compressors, etc. Besides the frame I really like what you did with the inside and outside of the bed. Then topped off with some clean ass lines from Kustoms Inc. I follow him on Instagram and everything he puts out is killer. What a great build, can't wait to see it done. Thank you Jason. I am going to try and upload some updated progress pics today. Thank you as well for the Kustoms Inc., props. He does great work and I will be sure to show him your kind words. What is your IG name? (You can PM it to me if you would like) Thank you for all the killer compliments and advice. It really helps keep the drive alive. More to come soon.

jeffs396 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Great work going on here! Love that frame! One thing though...AMT kinda got the shape of the door window opening wrong on these 55s. The window 'sill' should be parallel to the character lines below...correct-able, but not after paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revstew Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 So here is pretty much where she is at so far. Got a second coat of paint and first coat of clear laid down. Underside of the bed. The center section still needs to be cut out for the frame clearances. shaved firewall and underside of the cab floor Cab and bed got some clear. Then added some lace work to the roof of the cab. The lace is HOK pearl white over the same HOK green that I used on the frame and suspension. While waiting for the clear and lace to dry I got the frame and components primed and painted. Went and added some matching HOK pearl white to the bed sides as well. Here is the first time the painted body and painted chassis met for a mock up and I am very happy with the way the accent green of the frame and suspension goes with the body color. Parts are now laid out and hoping to get going on assembly. Taking my time will be the biggest challenge I think. This is where my fat impatient fingers can be my worst enemy. Well that is all I got for now. Please continue to let me know your thoughts. I appreciate the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your IG name? (You can PM it to me if you would like) Wow! Killer work on that paint. I think the pinstriping was a cool touch, Kustoms Inc can throw it down no matter what size it is. My IG name is J_MB420 if your on there feel free to hit me up. Can't wait to see it all assembled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revstew Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Been a bit slow finding time to get back to the bench. Still waiting on the chrome to get here which is starting to add to the slow of assembly. Here is some of the latest progress for now. Not much but something LOL! Got the front suspension mostly assembled and ready for the motor to drop in once the headers are modified a little and the wiring is done. Pleased as well with how well the stamped control arms came out. for my first stab at them. Dashboard is done and I am still finishing up the steering wheel/column and redoing the seat before I add flocking and finish interior assembly.

Revstew Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Me too Jason. My chrome parts are in Post Office limbo right now so that is holding up a few things at this time. Frustration doesn't even begin to describe it. No wonder the Postal Service is going out of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsc Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Guess it's a bit late to suggest chopping that top, huh? I've got a resin chopped top mated to the stepside, but don't like the way it sits in the frame. Yours is looking amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revstew Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 LOL yea its a little late for that. I have another one on the waiting list that will be getting a chop done to it and another one that is still on the drawing board. Thank you for the compliments!!

Revstew Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Sorry for lack of updates on the Cameo lately. I am slowly working on assembly of the rear suspension and some then some final engine details. Had to step away from the bench for a bit and have a couple weeks to go still before I am back most likely. I am trying to finish the rebuild of my 1:1 show truck and am just about to get her into the paint booth and then I can get back to the build bench. Thank you though for all the comments and interest in my build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
