started on the throttle linkage with linkage to the intake scoop




i really drilled holes so if you look inside the scoop you see the round brass tubes flush with the bottom , cant get that on a picture





but now i have to make butterfly flaps ... in here and man thats tiny .. i think my best option is to look for 3 round things that are the right size already must be out there , maybe in the partsboxes and if not i will look around the house hahaha

very rough still but altered the linkage to the scoop and butterflyes , also a thin iron rod now , added a gasscable and fuelline





thos chevy shapes on the side of the bed i made templates so after paint i can make silver inserts there



cables running over the tranny into the cab

made a distributer and wires







rough work on the "nose" made a radiator , fan and hoses , the noce is now bondo-ed waighting for a good sand job



the bottom will be longer so its a tad above the ground







wet primer just sprayed it .... then i will sand it and spray the whole lot black and go in with some color and chrome and make all the details pop

the primer dryed , going to sand and spray it tomorrow

made a floor this morning out of thin copper plate




bend a tunnel out of copper , the top you cant see when the cab is on due to the top chop



and gave the whole chassis with everything on a base coat of blak

this will dry up matte , just sprayed it on this picture .. then i can go in with chrome , lots of chrome and maybe some small color details ... and when thats done give it a oil paint threatment

played with salt and paint today and got the basic paint done on the body ... will be cleaned up a bit and more details added







I NEED OPINIONS !!!!!!
put a large wide tyre in front with the same rim i used in the rear .. the rim would stay flat like this but be painted the same as the rear one..
what do you think keep the wire wells and white walls or make it more beefy looking / like more truck looking ..
or do you guys think those tyres are to big for the front ??



some chrome on the rear bumper , will get some oild paint wash for more depth



the "box" under the rear window will get a hole in the tp with the fuel filelr neck and a gas cap on top sticking out
on the rear part where there is no wood on the floor i will make a large tool box

gave the firewall a coat of silver and a wash with oil paint to get some difefrent tones




washed the rear bumper's chrome i painted on yesterday , added the taillights , on the ovals i needed to put some orange clear in i didnt have the glass from the kit .....
did the tank silver with a wash , that will get more detail later on



and with patience and a steady hand chromed out the engine and chassis parts .. when dry i will wash the crome with oild paint for depth



drybrushed the chassis with brown , only a base later on i will do more to that , inside of the scopp i painted that red





washed the panellines with black

Great work on the paint/rust. I think you should use the bigger front wheels, they look more hardcore. The whitewalls look to nice cmpared to the rest

thnx zyko well i kept the wheels the other would be like to unrealistic as front tyres on such a axle and leaf suspension


i will ad more detail but started with a gas cap , safety triangle (how do you guys call that ??) , tyre





chassis done , the interiour is not really visible so i opted for a simple bench .. floos is invisible so i kept that sloppy ..
washed the chrome with oil paint , the chrome was to ... nice for the rest





i think i either do the blower belt matt black (is now semi and still has a bit of gloss) or put tape on it , i have this black cloth tape that looks like a belt

maybe do a nother pinstripe on the back like i did on the tudor

first end pictures , i will make better ones tomorrow in the daylight

i only want to ad 2 things , a side mirror , and a hand painted pinstripe on the tailgate









together with the previous 2 builds
