2April 21, 2020
3April 21, 2020The color
4April 21, 2020the seat pattern
5April 21, 2020The kits, who are planned to built. The right on needs a regular suspension, the left one only needs no snowplow anymore.
6April 21, 2020So I'm asorting the parts. The Chevy stepside changes the whole suspension with the GMC.
7April 21, 2020Two identically suspensions are the result.
8April 21, 2020With some painting. The result after two days.
9April 23, 2020Bodyparts are primered. The beds underside is already painted in it's original color: medium blue (Hawaiian Blue WA5190)
10April 24, 2020Before painting: take care of the molding lines :/
11April 29, 2020a small, but essential step: the pattern for the seats. Nothing to find on the internet. So. Well done 😄

17May 12, 2020First layer of clear cote is done
18May 12, 2020The chassis are done so far. Now I'm working on the inner brake thing where the wheel pins have to be.
19May 12, 2020I don't know, which grille looks better. The stock one (upper) or my modified one (lower)
20May 17, 2020The chassis are on there own wheels 🙂
21May 17, 2020The interior is painted. Hopefully it works out with the self-made decals. And the lights for the roof are in there mold (right bottom corner) ..... Ups. Green instead of blue.
22May 17, 2020First fitting test
23May 18, 2020The lights on top of the roof are done (one set of cause 😉 )

26May 25, 2020The lights are ready for paint.

37June 5, 2020First test sitting on the chassis with the wheels glued in place and with the new width.
38June 5, 2020Instead of painting silver on the inner side of the rear light I built reflectors. So I get more depth to the lights.
39June 5, 2020The beds are done too.
