Pics of New Project

Just thought I'd tease you boys with the topic , Havent got the project figured out yet, saw this and picked it up just for fun. All the joys of ebay, buying for .99 cents and paying 10 bucks just to ship it

I am only into stockers, but my friend Lee, did these for me. We are doing a frame-off stock restoration (with very few exceptions) on his '66 Chevy K10 lwb fleetside.

He is an avid RC enthusiast, so he applied his creativity in modifying a few of the 1:64 Johnny Lighting trucks for me. I keep them proudly displayed in my glass cases, along side my other 4-5-6 Chevy Truck diecasts, models kits and memorabilia.

Thanks for the thumbs up.

The mirrors do not appear to be factory, therefore I am installing a set of Jr. West Coast mirrors that were. They were on the truck when I got it and this truck is a few slots back on the project list, so I haven't changed them yet.

The grille is an original factory anodized aluminum grille assembly and head light trim rings. It is in excellent condition and I prefer it over the aftermarket chrome reproduction grille assemblies.

Wow, those slotted wheels look nice, did you polish them? What polish did you use?

Thanks for the kind words. I use Flitz on them to keep them nice, but they have a clear coating on them from the factory, as well. They clean up well with Mequirs aluminum wheel polish also.
