so, ive had this clear chev body layin around for a while and i found out that the reason the body and frame didnt line up anymore was because of loose body posts

its real scale, it even has broken cab mounts

im likin it so far

more to come after this weekend

bigred · 04-21-2006, 01:04 AM

Looking good. It needs some paint, have an idea of what color its going to be?

Now I've got to do a scale Ford build with the gap between the fenders and the doors like my old '73. Thing sagged so bad i had to put a smaller steering wheel on

Gotta love Ohio trucks.

any color ideas yet?

OIT_TLT · 04-21-2006, 10:11 AM

as far as paint, its going to be some form of silver on the inside with olive drab possibly on the outside. i am either going to add a flatbed or tube the back out. its still up in the air right now because a flatbed would be killer, but i have the shock mounts in the way. im gonna be tweaking with it this weekend and see what i come up with. look for more pictures by sunday

Mr. longtravel · 04-21-2006, 04:39 PM

you might want to air up your front tires. there lookin' a little low.

anyways, nice truck.

Yea I think a flat bed would look good! but tube is cool too.If you made a flt bed put a tool box in the back with a spare tire.that would looks awsome!

Looking real good scott, love the dovetail look. How are you going to mount the rear bed panels? weld in some tabs or something.

this post makes me laugh. youd think i would weld on some tabs and put some nice looking 4-40 button head capscrews to hold everything in place. yeah, um i couldnt figure out a good way to do that so i talked with a friend and he suggested the almighty zip-tie. gotta say it works like a charm though

OIT_TLT · 04-23-2006, 05:11 PM

not a giant update because i forgot to mount the back of the cab before i started painting the frame

. got the frame painted, and the bedsides all painted up. gotta wait for the paint to finally dry on the frame before i can start on painting the cab.

the paint may be dry enough to try and get a few things done after dinner tonight, only time will tell

Mr. longtravel · 04-23-2006, 08:03 PM

jezz man, i like it. the olive drab is a cool color. i really like the sivle on the inside to replicate "metal"... cool!!!
