First post of one of my builds. Hope you like it!
Lots of words I forgot I knew, Al Clad, a zillion test fittings and modifications and 3 sets of decals to get one set on it. Wired engine, gauges on dash, fuel system, valve stems on wheels. The brake calipers and master cylinder got lines run. Even got the tilt system to work. Paint is 1963 Diamond Reo truck orange and interior is done in Duplicolor gray trunk paint like on the original car. Paul

Revell always had the most spindly stuff. Awesome job, and the detailing and colors are spot-on. One of the nicest I've seen!
