Nothing is mounted yet, so no the bed is NOT mounted crooked, its was for mockup reasons. But im pretty psyched to see where this goes.

This ones looking to be a good project! Is that a resin cast cab? I've never seen it in a kit before.

Re: 1980's GMC Quad Cab
 

Yup! It is a 80's resin, i believe 84 to be exact... But ive been wrong before :lmao:

Got a few layers of paint on her, the patience required for paint...

Well... Got my first coat on... Not shiny enough! :( I need to swap out the chassis though. :|

Looks great, I really like old boxy pick ups. I presume you have worked with resin before??? You almost always have to soak it to remove the releasing agent left on the body from the resin casting process....most use Wesleys bleach white. Just curios as to where you purchased this body?

looking good, I love 80's chevs. I have a resin bodied full 82 suburban with full interior and a single cab 2500 long box both on a micro trail trekker chassis. want to do a crew cab like this as well but I had trouble finding one.

You should do a cousin Willard scaler!!!!!

Hmm, This is my first Resin body, ive done several regular models but this one is already proving to be a hastle! Haha! Its interesting though, ive watched several builds on them. A guy named Angel Acosta (On facebook) makes them!

Niceee! And like i said Angel Acosta makes them, but when they are all said and done, they are pretty pennyfull... I got about 120ish just into the body. :(

Haha! That would be pretty sweet, We'll see, im not the best with styrene! Ive dealt with it a little bit but it was always for something small.

Re: 1980's GMC Quad Cab
 

Very cool Smoke, thanks for the info. I have plenty of styrene builds under my belt and have worked with resin parts ,but never a body like this. It is definitely a whole different creature to work with, but they make some really cool parts/bodies in resin.

Re: 1980's GMC Quad Cab
 

haha yeah, my suburban was around the same into the body.
