Intmd8r Posted July 12, 2024 Share Posted July 12, 2024 Looks like a period correct ‘90’s custom. The engine swap was a nice surprise-made the build even better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With great difficulty, Will. ? Seriously though it was the one thing on truck that gave me the most grief. I first sprayed the whole truck with the silver, then airbrushed the magenta on there the strip would be. Then I layed down the strip with 1/64" fine line masking tape and resprayed the silver. Then I masked off everything else that wasn't supposed to be white and sprayed that. Should have been easy but I had to go back and re-mask and respray everything a few times to get it 1/2 decent. I do have a few things I'd do different next time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted July 12, 2024 Share Posted July 12, 2024 Really cool truck Steve. Great stance! Paint sounds like it would have been a challenge for sure, it turned out beautifully. Cheers, Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robberbaron Posted July 13, 2024 Share Posted July 13, 2024 Looks like it's straight out of the pages of Sport Truck, circa 1993. My brother's 1:1 had a similar burgundy interior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
