Hot Wheels Replica of My Truck.
I've been gathering the Hot Wheels 62 C10 to cut up and make into a replica of my 63 GMC. I finally found a few GMC panel trucks a couple months ago so I could get started. After taking 2 C10s and 1 GMC apart I cut out the front rollpan and the very back of the bed on a C10 and dropped it on the GMC base. I also had to trim the sides off the base as the GMC was slightly wider. Then I measured to see how much more bed I needed to add from the second C10 to stretch the truck to the back bumper of the GMC base. After it was cut I JB Welded it to the first C10. The next day I sanded the bedsides smooth and sanded the bowtie off of the tailgate and ground a notch into the back bumper to duplicate the step in a 60-66 pick up's bumper. After some minor tweaking and fitting it was ready for paint. I decided to use paint made for pewter table top gaming figures because when it dries it has a flat finish and shows all the details. It's still not finished yet, I need to finish the inside of the bed and I am still trying to find some wheels to match my truck.

Re: Hot Wheels Replica of My Truck.
Thanks guys! I'm messing around on the computer trying to make a backer card with the Hot Wheels logo and an edited picture of my truck to make it look more like a painting than a photo. I'm gonna make it so I can remove the truck from the packaging without tearing it up.

Re: Hot Wheels Replica of My Truck.
Thanks guys. Here's what I've got so far for a backer card.
 I want to put something else in the background just to liven it up some but haven't liked anything I've tried yet.

I won't completely derail your thread, but I built it after I found this photoshopped picture in a thread over here that I have yet to find again, to see if the guy ever finished it.. I never knew, untill then that Chevy had crewcabs in the 60's, and that were done in outside shops. I figure one of these days I will find it again, just need to do some digging around in all the old threads.  Here is a shot of it, after I first started it..  I can do a thread if you would like to see it from start to, somewhat of a finish...although, they are never really done, or so it seems. . |
