This is so odd, ME doing something that's so close to a stock build. We hardly do things like that here, even I wasn't sure where to post it! I had bought a couple of these kits; one, I liked the truck, and two, I wanted the Go Kart.
This is a sort of tribute build to my older brother, who started us off building models, AND owning trucks throughout our lives- he started with a '56 Ford. We never were a one-brand family, between the two of us we've had Ford, Chevy, GMC, Datsun/Nissan, Toyota, Dodge...last one I bought was a '04 GMC, still have it.
I took the '60 Chevy, built boxstock, except I slightly bashed it with the running gear of a wrecker I had lying around. I've seen dualies running around without the rear fender flares, so I said, why not? Only one engine shot, just for Harley, because it's just the puny stock engine, nothing exciting. Probably the closest to a plain-jane build as I'm likely to get- just something different, for me. Tamiya Yellow paint, I did small body details, but did not want to go through the hassle of the truck bed, sorry! Chrome details by Gundam Chrome Marker. Comments welcome.
