'55 Chevy Stepside Pick-Up

[iceracer1]

Just completed this AMT kit. It wasn't the best kit I had build cause there are some fitting issues especially with the windows. I modified the whole windowtrim and improved the fittment. I painted it with Zero Paints Mars Red (VW) and clearcoated it with Zero 2K Clear. Here is the result:

































I'm really pleased with the result as I love these old pickup trucks. I didn't painted it with a fancy metallic paint but just a plain red. I like it very much with the chrome details. I'm also proud of the engine.

Adjustments:

- Wired the engine
- aluminium exhaust tips
- ScaleProduction licenseplate and holder
- Revell Custom wheels
- Smoothed hood
- lowered
- red interiorflocking
- new seats
