1950 Chev Panel Truck

[Super]

Go to the SCX10 picture archive, page 93 half way down there is a yellow Honcho with the type of exterior rust effect your looking for. And its real rust ! "thumbsup"

I only show 50 pages, could you post a link of that particular post."thumbsup"

That is an excellent idea for body mounts, let me know how they work out for you and where did you get them from?

Cool Build! Cant wait to see the rust affect!

He probably has his end set up for 20 posts per page, you probably have yours set for 40 posts per page. So for you, I think it'd be on page 47?

I'm guessing he meant THIS ONE?

Right now the truck weighs just over 7 lbs. and you can pick the truck up by the body."thumbsup"

I did overs in the front I think, not doing both only cuz I didn't have the other gears. As soon as I get the aluminum c hubs and high clearance knuckles I will be installing the universals."thumbsup"

Well I got busy today.


Did a little rust work














Long story short this is how it ended up, pretty happy I guess.






























We will see what Santa will bring.:mrgreen:

Did you texturise the body with a Dremel, put salt down on the body and paint over it or use some other method?
Looks good anyways

 

[Super]

A little dremel work and baking soda. Actually baking powder not sure if there is a difference.

Wow, very impressive. "thumbsup"
Considering you were in your words "Afraid to start the painting process", you sir, had nothing to be afraid of. ;-)

Agreed.

[Super]

I need some opinions on a couple things.

Which should I use.....


Lenses




or




And then Which wheels...







:???::???::???:

 

[Airdet]

Second lenses and wheels. Great build

 

[FRENCHBLUE72]

1st lenses and 2nd wheels..

 

[gillbily23]

I like the 2nd lenses and 1st wheels. Great work on the body but I will always be partial to the woody panel trucks.

 

[Trubble]

1st lenses and 2nd wheels..

These get my vote as well.

[TrilloThrillo110]

I call 2nd lenses and well the wheels, if you're gunna leave them as is I'd say the 2nd ones but if you're gunna weather them, I'd go for the first pair.
