Chevy Truck WIP

[Bert]

I try to shy away from posting non show rods here, but I get into building stretches in other areas and I like to contribute as often as I can. This is a Revell 65 Chevy with an AMT Cadi. engine (59 ElCamino kit). The straight axle front end is from a Monogram 55 Chevy. My delima is the paint. I intended to do a weathered, flat, body work in progress look. The paint laid down very nice, so now, I can't decide whether to polish it out and build it with nice paint or start sanding and making it old.

I'd make it a workhorse! A nice shop sign on the doors, a few dings and away you go. Shop truck on weekdays, race truck on Sunday!!

Nice! The 2 tone looks beautiful, and the motor and tire/wheels look so good it would be fine as a polished up showrod. Tough call man, but the weathered version would rock too.
