Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
thanks OlBlue!
case was courtesy of my wife. in the early 90's she worked at Kmart, then the canadian K's closed & she brought this nintendo display case home. if you pull off the auto stickers, there's nintendo wrote all over it. started making a topper, & some of the rear susp. in. thinking 2 toning this one. wife says there's not enough color in the fleet & suggested yellow & white (gag!!?), but after looking at some yeller & white blazers,....maybe... |

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

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
We'll see if it works now.... These were taken in 1990 at Super Chevy Sunday at Sears Point Raceway. I almost got killed because I got second place in the square body class with a truck that worked for a living. It's black with blue pearl. It was one of the trucks used a the 1984 Indy 500. I don't remember if it was one of 13 or 17.

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

Hi dieseldawg
You're just a model making work horse. I may not talk a lot, but I love watching your trucks come together. |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
Hey Jeffro, I thought you went missing or something I enjoy watching his work too. Both you guys have a lot more talent and patience than I do..

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. |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
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 hoping to get the body painted in the next day or so, little more block sanding... 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 |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
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) pretty underwhelming... |
