Deep Purple Revell 66 Chevy Stepside

[LAV25]

In 1989 I got a 1966 Chevy Stepside that was a real rustbucket. My teenage self assumed he'd be able to transform it into a hot rod. 

He was wrong. 

So in 2011 I got the Revell 1965 Chevy Stepside model and re-created, more or less, what the truck looked like the day I got it. And this year I bought another copy and created what might have been if my life had gone a different path. 

So here we are. 

(The only difference between a 1965 and a 1966 C-10 is the badge. By not installing them, I've converted this to a 1966).

It has known issues, but feel free to offer critiques on what and how I could have done better. I'm still very new to this hobby. 

Build thread is here.

Pretty kewl story.  I like both trucks.  Nice job.

I like the "Before and After" concept, you've represented it quite well here.

I remember seeing your WIP on the purple one, it came out great! I love the undercarriage detail you've added.

The "Before" truck is well done too. The damage, rust and weathering are all very convincing.

I like the before and after. Looks like you have a photo booth like I have too.
