I guess I should migrate some of my builds over here. This is one from last year.
About 10 years ago a guy at work gave me 3 kits he had bought for his kids. All three had been started to some extent. Two were write off glue bombs (the engine and interior in my '60 Chevy pickup came from one) the 3rd was this one.
It has sat on a shelf in the basement since I got it so the box is really dusty!
Some very messy brush painting had been done, the door was very sloppily cut out (the kid was 10) and some minor assembly had been done but it is not beyond hope. Gonna take some work though.
Not sure what the plan was with that front seat. Needs to come apart and be completely primed and repainted.
Looking at it initially I thought it would be a simple glue back together. When I checked the fit of the windshield I discovered there is actually about an 1/8th of an inch missing. Think they used a hacksaw blade or utility knife to open up the door. Good thing it will be dirty!
I decided that the door was going to be open so had to figure out what I was going to do with the interior. This was the first issue of the kit so it only had the very basic contents inside with a lot of detail missing. Looking through clips from the movie didn’t help much as you only get a few very brief looks. A person on another forum told me there was an updated kit so I pulled the instructions for that and BINGO I now had a blueprint. The main things were the horrible package shelf and the lack of the roll bars.
