haha, im diggin those purple hornies, thats a nice one!

Scootin 81 C20 · 12-27-2009, 02:35 AM

Here's one more that I found going through my folders. I no longer have this one, but it's sweet anyways. AMT 1974 GTX done "Moonshiner" style. It's an older build so not much detail, but still cool as hell.

Scootin 81 C20 · 12-27-2009, 04:56 PM

I just noticed that the shifter in my 74 GTX looks like a chromed hand grenade.

There are a lot of nice looking models in here. I think I might try and get the 72 GMC and some dually model truck and try building a rollback.

If you are wanting to do a dually conversion, the best kit for it is the Monogram Ford F-350. It's fairly easy to find and still reasonably cheap compared to the other dually kits on the market.

try the AMT/Ertl Dealer Promo's like this one

they can usually be got for $5-$10

72 CustomCamper · 12-31-2009, 02:20 PM

Here's a major custom I built about 10 years ago...

Chuck

Scootin 81 C20 · 12-31-2009, 03:10 PM

I'd like to see some of that Nova on the rollback.

72 CustomCamper · 12-31-2009, 04:13 PM

These are pre paint shots. It's a 69 427 SS Nova.

The backhalf, subframe connectors and 3 inch exhaust are scratch built...

Chuck

72 CustomCamper · 12-31-2009, 04:14 PM

The rear wheel wells have been stretched a scale 4 inches because of the 18x33 Firestones...

Beautiful work on that '57 above, truly a work of art!

Scootin 81 C20 · 12-31-2009, 04:28 PM

Thank you. I have another one that my dad and I are going to build someday.

Mayo · 12-31-2009, 04:54 PM

Custom Camper, did you build that rollback bed or did you buy it from somewhere?

72 CustomCamper · 12-31-2009, 11:37 PM

Everything behind the cab is scratch built. I built another one for a friend and might have to build 2 more for other friends...

Chuck

Mayo · 01-01-2010, 06:01 PM

What did you make your bed out of. I was thinking of using popsicle sticks. I got an idea planned out in my mind on how I would build the frame and the bed and make it tilt and everything, now I just need to get a couple of kits and try it out.

72 CustomCamper · 01-01-2010, 10:17 PM

Everything is made from plastic. I got flat sheets, round tube and C channel from a hobby shop...

Chuck

Mayo · 01-02-2010, 12:20 AM

I might have to look into that. Thanks for your help.

72 CustomCamper · 01-02-2010, 12:24 AM

Anytime...

**special-K** · 01-02-2010, 11:29 AM

I want to see that Gold GMC.

bobbo · 01-03-2010, 09:47 AM

72 CustomCamper · 01-03-2010, 11:49 PM

I'll have to load pics tomorrow, camera batteries died. It's an older AMT kit. I've heard that they are going to reissue that kit in 2010...
