Wip:1984 Gmc

Oh my crazy horse saloon, I have flipped my lid!!!!!!!! Yep, not my normal build, who said I was normal anyway? Thats what is so cool about this hobby, you can step outta your box every now and then and build something different!! This is the AMT 1984 GMC body and I will be using the Revell Mad-Mudder chassis, suspension and wheels/tires! The frame is going to be stretched a bit and the body will be raised a tad also! This is the mock-up so far:

Feedback and comments welcome!! Ol' Dude
Remember, you can try something different, it might help you improve in other places you are lacking in!!! Don't be scared!!

Mmm hmm.. Looks like its gonna be wild!! So I guess you're not ratting this one out? hehe...Good luck on this.

Nice, I finished mine a while back just haven't posted pics..

This is a really good kit from AMT, went together perfect for me

nice i like it it looks sick raised up

Well that was fast!! I extended the frame 1/4". Now the wheels are centered in the wheel wells!! Looks 100x better!! Hey blubaja, no I'm not rusting this one out! Remember, I'm building outta my box!!!

Looks great so far. Too bad you're not gonna put a little rust here and there and a faded paint job - all these pictures make me think of someone's old truck they keep at their huntin' camp. Whatever you do with it, I'm sure it's gonna be cool.

yes sir my kinda model muscle cars supras and 4x4's looks like its gonna be sweet nice job man... "Rusty"

Looking good Dennis, that's one of my favorite years of pickup trucks. It looks like a truck should look!!

Kewl :sunglasse

Now, should I be building a street rod or rat rod? :eek:

Great truck, this one would look great if dusted up...!

yeah!! your next good model!! :wink:

Maybe a 'mexican blanket' seat cover...
just so we know it's yours. :p

Nice Start... is gonna be cool!

hope you have better luck with this kit than me, i found the fitment terrible

So far I haven't tried anything else! You know how the bed has the seems around the fuel filler doors, well I gouged them out some and puttied over it! When I applied my primer, they ghosted bad!!! So I re-applied some putty and I'm letting it sit in the dehydrator for a couple of days!!

looks good, i had it, i=and it was a good model until the fan fell out of my window and broke, it so now im just puttin some salvageable parts on my jeep cj5 model. but yea it was a good model for me .

Any progress on this one? I'm working on the same kit at the moment and I'm wondering how this will turn out.
