I finally finished the build of a 1950 Chevy 3100 under my wife’s specs so I of course had to name it Suzie Q. As with all my builds working LEDs for headlights, tail lights and gauge lights. The LED coin cell battery is hidden as the spare under the truck bed. My son has a Sinclair gas pump globe as a light in his room that is the same design as the bed slat sign to tie it to him as well. Detailed engine compartment with plug wires in correct firing order, heater lines and wiring.

That's nice! It looks like the truck I used to own, but yours is in much better condition. ?

Thank you! My wife really wants one but we really don’t have the space for it.

Beautifully detailed build. I like how you do the lighting.  

Thank You! My family won’t let me do a build without LEDs anymore.

Beautiful work. I’ve got this kit in my stash. If mine turns out even a quarter as good as yours, I’ll be happy. Looks spot on. ??
