'55 Chevy Stepside Pick-Up

This is my other project I started.

I really love these old pick-ups very much. (i hate the modern though ) It was time to build one.

I picked this AMT kit from my pile. It's not the best kit but it has potential.

This is what's inside the box:





The original wheels are nice under this car, but i wanted someting more custom. I found these left over wheels from the 2009 Challenger. I needed to customize the wheels to fit in normal tyres. They look pretty cool I think.







I think red is an awesome color for this truck. I chosed Mars Red by VW for the Chevy.









I immidiatelly started with the wooden thrunk. First I wanted to replace it with real wood, but I didn't succeded, so I just painted the plastic wood with different brown paints. After that I added BMF on the strips. Now it needs to be clearcoated with 2K.



I also sanded the body and did some modifications to fit the hood. The fittment is pretty bad as far as I can see.

Kris.
