[scalemodelrestoration]

This is a build i am doing to replicate a 1:1, i will be sending it off in the mail when i get it completed.......
F&F resin casting 1954 Chevy pickup cab
Donor kit is a 1950 Chevy pickup
Front stub from a amt 1970 1/2 newer amt kit
first generation rally wheels from new revell 1969 nova kit and front tires.......
LT1 350 from '70 1/2 camaro kit as well.turning into a stock 350 4bbl carb,different air cleaner etc....
Have the box built, one thing tho in-case you didnt notice, i cut the top of the box off and then laid the top rail flat like on the 1:1 i am replicating.......

Heres the shot of the chassis, after filling in with proweld and sheet stock pieces i then mixed up some flowable putty,sanded that down then added some red spot putty,and sanded that down.........in the pictures later on you can how it looks painted.

Nice job Mike, looks like the 1:1. Should have a satisfied customer.

Looks like you nailed it MJ. Very cool. Hope you get a pic of the model and the real truck together.

Nice work! I love seeing an accurate replica. It would be great if you could find or make the "Under Construction" decals for the front and rear windows.
