Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
I think you nailed it on the trailer. It looks just like I remember them. I like the idea of the impala too. My mom had a 70 and then a 73. Thanks for the update!

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
wow...another long time..
 well my impala did not pan out. the pieces i ordered off fleabay were not for an impala. but the guy refunded me and let me keep the parts  after doing nuthin' with it for a few mos, i dug this gumby little model out. it's from the American 66 series of 5 cheesy '66 cars Hasegawa put out in the '80's. not much to them- no motor (curbside) dash is a flat piece with a decal dash, and about 30 or so pieces. i bought it as a started build for 5 clams back in the early '90's, but it was so lame, i did'nt put it together. only changes are towing mirrors and a hitch, and wider tires with diff wheels, orig tires were cracked in half. and my rottie pup chewed on it one day which pretty much destroyed the lower fender vents, so i just eliminated 'em for a quick cheesy model it dont look too bad in front of the prowler |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
It's been a while but it looks like you are getting some done. I like the Wildcat and faster. You have a lot of patience with your dogs.....

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
my wife got me the gmc wrecker and big game gmc last yr, but have'nt done nuthin' with them cause i couldn't find another donor at a reasonable cost.
wanted to do a crew outta the two, but one is 1/24 and one is 1/25. couple days ago was digging threw some crap and came across this old mangy cab from some project...and it's a 1/25 so it fits the wrecker cab. don't like the smooth rear cab either, found this rr cab wall from another junker so the plan now is to crewcab the wrecker and break down and pay a stupid price for another big game so i can have a round eye crew, and get hawgs and t-cases for both trucks.went to a hobby shop 6 towns over prepared to pay a stupid price and wouldn't ya know it, they didn't have one...so to make it a not useless trip, i grabbed a '76 stepside sport. since i want to put the wrecker body on a '60-'66 chev, i needed a box of some sort for it. after digging threw more junk (amazing what you can find after you've forgotten about it...) came across this stepper box. so now i will have a round eye crew stepper and a round eye longbox crew. piecing junk together.. quick coat of primer to see how much more bodywork. also cut off that goofy visor and molded in "engine" will get a real visor and a real engine |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
It's nice to see you back at it. I like the direction you're going with this one.

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
figured i would finish the 10 or 12 kits i already have. getting hard to justify spending $60-70 for a plastic model....literally being priced out of my hobby..
 this is the chassis for the '76 sport stepside. just have to finish painting the body and jam it together. pretty much box stock wit some minor detailing. i see how sport steppers came in 4 colors, black, red, orange and blue. i like 'em all and could see it in any of them colors, so to decide i went and checked on my collection. got 4 black trucks, 7 red trucks, 2 orange trucks and 7 blue trucks...so i decided on orange with a 2 tone saddle and brown int. |
