64 chevy fleetside

possibly a hot rod more like a shop truck thats evolving into a hot rod. well thats the plan anyway. zed the front frame, sectioned the bed and this is where its sitting at the moment . would like to get it on the ground

Kool!! keep it coming

Looks like a good start

Looks like some major surgery is need for a ground hugger? Keep at it.

Good old Aussie spirit.

look,s good so far, will be watching it.

I enjoyed building this kit.
IIRC it goes together well.

Careful Terry
yeah Zen it does


I want something in between these two but lower

the red,white one look's cool.

Cool project, yeah dump it.
Adam

looks good if you are going to dump it get ready for a bit of surgery with the front end and the bonnet they do look very good dumped.

well got some colour on today just to keep me enthused lol. also got it a bit lower and the engine done except for plug leads.



still got a ways to go with the paint but the general ideas there. Need to tidy up the inner sides of the bed a bit more, mainly a bit more sanding but that wont relly effect any of the paint work done

cool colour on the pickup truck,

That looks very cool, nice colours and wheels.
My best build to date is this kit, it's in the Showroom under "64' Chev Pickup", looking at yours makes me wanna build another!

I went for a slight lift at the back, the '50 stepside body and twin 4's on a tunnel ram under the bonnet.

The Blue and White looks brilliant

I agree with Paul on the blue and white paint scheme - very nice.

That's the Kiwi spirit!

lol thanks guys. Was able to get a little more done tonight , think I might have to section the interior a little . Cant find any rusting type stuff anywhere its getting hard to find enamel paints(dangerous stuff you know) wan%$rs.Sorry rant over heres some pics. cut off the tubes that were supposed to be springs and added real springs. kinda . look better imho tho

Before you go too mad rusting the outside of the bed I have this nagging memory that the outer panels on these were fibreglass?
Or maybe that was just the earlier Cameo pick ups?

I reckon the body looks good as is, it's not too rusty, looks like it's in the process of being rebuilt.

Looking good, it's all coming together nicely


And yes Zen , I think only the Cameo sides were Fiberglass.

That's all right then.

There was a build a while back on the Scale Auto forum where someone had spent ages making the bed sides of a chevy ute dented and rusted out. Only to be told that the 1:1 bed sides were 'glass.
It'd be a bit like building a rusty 'vette...
