not really a blazer update, dawg strikes again. was pouring rain outside so i let dieseldawg in the house. stupid me i let him wander into the bedroom & his tail tagged this '99 silverado off the dresser, bummer....oh well, not crazy about stock newer trucks anyways, another one to put on the "lift list"
Attachment 1305509 starting to dig the yella & white a little more (web shot) Attachment 1305512 |
Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
One swipe of the tail and totaled. ..wow! LOL. I like the wrecker idea and I have always liked yellow and white. My two cents

NIIICE! sharp lookin' wrecker Dale!
like how even your dolly's are polished. pride in your ride. been a little slow on the blaze. winterizing the house, fixing the ol'lady's truck... her midgate window regulator took a crap, got some cool parts, tubing, cables for a wrecker, & i see a 4 link coil over in my future with them 4 springs...

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
Thanks, I liked that truck. If you have to fix it, it's only fair that you get some cool parts out of it. LOL

well, i guess the wife is not the only girl in the world that likes me, one of her co-workers cleaned out her basement & gave me these
Attachment 1310813 the '55 & the vette are new, somebody primered the chicken body & the bimmer has a nice coat of red on the body. the vette body has a huge factory flaw in it (missing the dr. rocker & part of the fender...quality control??) but it's a 2in1 kit so it has a butt-load of cool parts that i can use, i dont have a an '80's 'bird so i will keep it, already got 4 '55's & there's no space on any of my shelfs for a euro-mobile, so i will prob. trade them. also got this "thing" from her too, i dont do 1/12 or foreign, so i dont know what i'll do with this. it's un-built & had this hot wheel size 300sl in the box. dont know if it was included or someone threw it in there. Attachment 1310817Attachment 1310818 prob end up in the crawlspace with the only other 1/12 i have. my neighbor gave it to me about 10 yrs ago with half an inch of horrible red (pink!) cracked paint, i re-did it kinda as a rat rod until my son (he was 2 or 3) got his hands on it, been downstairs for the last 8. just dont have room for foot & a half models...

Attachment 1310830Attachment 1310836 Attachment 1310837Attachment 1310842 there's a hint of the color on the bottom of the dash |
Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
It looks like you'll have plenty of stuff to keep you busy this winter..lol..the blazer is looking good. I spy some yellow on the dash, I like it.

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
Hi dieseldawg
You're just a model making work horse. :) I may not talk a lot, but I love watching your trucks come together. |

yeah, it would be different, thats for sure. already gathering parts. it's a do'er!
scratched up a fuel line, tranny & engine dipstiks, a dropped swaybar & some throttle linkage. some quick lockin' hubs & valve stems on the rims Attachment 1311549Attachment 1311550 Attachment 1311568 hoping to get the body painted in the next day or so, little more block sanding... Attachment 1311551 and yeah i know what i said about furrin cars, but i was looking at the Big Money Waste & it turns out to be a motorized kit, bonus! start looking threw the box for the motor-not there, bummer. started reading the instructions, bottom of the first page "MOTOR NOT INCLUDED PLEASE PURCHASE SEPARATELY" huh?? so i figure i will do a quick curbside of it using only ONE color on the whole kit, should only take a few days. then i will park my blaze on it.... how i got it, except for the airdam & mirrors Attachment 1311564 |
Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
Don't forget to crush it before you park on it...lol I think it's going to look great.

as promised, hunk 'o junk. what a crap model, no detail anywhere, no nothing...tried to go all black, but the taillights snuck in some color.
didn't detail it at all, didn't even try to do nothing to it, it's just a car...last look like this. as Dale said, crush it & park the blaze on it pretty gumby...(lookin at them tires i think i need to dust off my bench) Attachment 1313346 pretty underwhelming...

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
I may be weird but I like the yellow. Maybe it would settle down with the middle section on the body painted white....

Hi Guys, I've slowed down on forums for now, life keeps getting in the way, long boring story. Anyway, I have several more 8th scale motorcycle models, but I haven't found the time to work on them yet. I want to modify one into the "Captain America" chopper and I want to make a Harley Drag bike out of another,one of these days.. I've been tinkering with a Tamiya on-road racer (TT-01E Datsun 240Z) and another semi tractor truck, a Tamiya Globe Liner Kit. I might do a thread if either of you are interested. I love the Blazer dd. It reminds me of the RC Blazer I built a few years ago. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7044/...aaa739ba_c.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7182/...3d321b5b_c.jpg |
Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
heck yeah, i do need to throw some white down the sides.
good lookin' blaze Jeffro! |

coming to fruition...
got the rest of my tires from my son, cost me a super size chicken nugget meal, still need to round up a E40 or rockwell axle for the front... might do my '72 chev turn wrecker first, this one mite ty me up for awhile Attachment 1316851 |

well, hittin' snags with the peterbilt, have'nt found a front axle yet, or any kind of t-case in this scale.
i found some pics of a rockwell T-138, should be fairly strait forward to scratch one up, hoping i dont have to scratch a fr axle.... Attachment 1318078Attachment 1318079 seeing how i'm not building at the moment.... if you've ever looked at any of my pics i've posted, you must have noticed how "cramped" my bench gets, actually it's the wife's table. see all the jun...-stuff piled up, somehow i just kinda pushed her off it one day. lately it's been getting real bad, my chair became a grinder bench & my work bench got pushed down to a piece of wood on top the garbage can, so.... an older pic but you get the idea Attachment 1318075 new & improved!! Attachment 1318076Attachment 1318077 |
Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

now that it's new & improved, i just have to muck it up:metal:
finally getting around to the '72. be quicker & easier than the p-bilt, so it's next.... starting with a 20 something yr old build (early '90's), may not look it, but the white is not white anymore, decals are curling, gumby 2 piece rear wheels.....

i will need to order some more swampers for the 1 ton dually rims i'm also ordering, which is ok, 'cause i got a lot of un-easy work to do...
besides the blower hole in the hood, you can see how much susp. is going to have to go in there to make the swamps fit Attachment 1318086 but as you can really see, here's where the fun starts.... that back half is just not going to cut it, thinking loping it off behind the cab & scratching a whole new rear frame...

...so much for new & improved.... Attachment 1318338 started hacking the 2wd junk off the "frame", & cut off the rear half Attachment 1318340 making some new frame rails. before i cut them to length, just messing around, ramp truck in the future maybe...

making it fit under... also got some styrene & filler in the holes
Attachment 1318351Attachment 1318352 actually fits & sits on the frame not bad, like your elbow in your ear.... haft to finalize body to frame mounts yet Attachment 1318353 not sure what color for sure yet, but leaning toward a bright red with a white stripe, & some chrome accents just dicking around on paint, when i get what i like i'll print them into decals. could use your help here Dale, what do you normally have wrote all over your wrecker? this is what i came up with so far, & some conspicuity tape Attachment 1318355 |
Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
Oh boy ....let the fun begin....what's usually on the truck is Company name, phone #, address. I like your 4x4 recovery. I had a slogan on the boom on mine. It said "you blow em..we tow em"

"you blow 'em we tow 'em" i like that:lol:
well this sucks, cant get no parts from my caster right now, doing re-construction (must of bought too much off him...) other than some bodywork, not a lot to do till i can get the rest of my parts. did come across a stripper thats cheaper & works just as good... started adding rivets to the frame Attachment 1318760 added some bolts to the sling & filling the hood. under the black on the dash was blue, when i orig. built it i was modeling it after my '68 910, but couldn't find a GMC grille, so it became what it is. Attachment 1318761 350 just aint big enough to go fish trucks out of the muck, was able to scrape together another parts box BB(it sure hurt to de-chrome & de-fin them M/T valve covers!)
