Gotta love primer!
Originally got the kit for the ARDUN V8, then decided to build it for ebay. Left off the chrome hood trim, and drilled mounting holes. Sanded off the emblems and drilled mounting holes for those too. A quick search through the parts box came up with a stock '48-53 flatty and some black wall tires. Parts box tail lights to replace the parts used on another project, and some aluminum tube tail pipes round it out. "Color" is Plastikote primer buffed with a microfiber cloth to knock the fuzzies down and smooth out the "grain" of the primer. Ended up liking this ugly truck too much to put it on the 'bay, and it's become one of my favorite builds.
