One Down One to Go

[Greg Kimsey]

Greg , the Glidden Max Flex shinning armor is on with the mist of red/brown primer .
Next I stipple the color on the left , cinnamon stick , then I stipple the color in the middle , terra cotta , followed up by the color on the right , cinnamon .

You've definitely got it down to a science! I am looking at my stash to see what I can try this on

 

[Cheyenne]

Yeah Greg , go for it show us your progress man !!!

 

[Cheyenne]

Starting to scratch build the ladder rack .

Put some siderails on top so those ladders don't go sliding off. A coiled up drop cord would be cool.

 

[Cheyenne]

Way ahead of ya Pup .
There is no kit engine but I'm leaning on a closed hood anyway .
The really big , big suck factor is the clear doors , one solid piece , no option for open windows .
More work !!! ......... I drilled out the wing window , now for the door window , rinse and repeaat on the passenger side .

Woah! Clear doors to do the windows?! I get it, but that is a different level of kit design.

Yeah the kit does come with masks for the glass sections so you can paint the doors but why bother , seems like just another step , I mean you're gonna paint the doors anyway . So instead of just painting the doors and using/or not using seperate clear parts , now I have to drill out some pretty thick clear plastic just for the open window option .
Don't get me wrong , luv the fit etc on the kit , it's just " why ? "

I pried the door open and cranked the power up, we're good!

 

[Cheyenne]

More done .

 

[Cheyenne]

Scratched the wing and door windows , now on to the passenger side .

 

[Cheyenne]

I screwed up by leaving round edges on the broken windshield where the block went through , don't look like broken glass , gonna have to do something bout that .

 

[Steve Ski]

From the looks of this rig now I'm guessing this will have had a thorough ransacking? This reminds me of a utility worker back in the late 70's who left his rig outside an old biker bar overnight. He came back the next day to find it completely gutted, HA! What a delta alphahole, right?

Lookin good, Ese! Ruck On!

 

[Cheyenne]

Thanks BroSki ,, I've added some broken glass bits to mask the rounded edges on the windshield glass screw up .
