After seeing a few older pick-ups and the mercury done by the same
person ( I forget your name ).. It made me want to build a truck of my
own. So I used this ERTL 55' Chevy. So far I got all the emblems off,
shaved down the suspension ( The wheels are just set there, they're not
assembled to the suspension yet ). For the color I am unsure of, Anyone
have any suggestions?

You can do it in primer, that green don't look to bad in the pics tho.. Keep the wheels/tires..keep the stance.

Flat black flames or flat black scallops, if thats what
they're called.

Convertable trucks are ugly as hell. Rarely do I see a good one. I say chop the top down a good bit.
