I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
Excellent weathering job!
gregbale Stellar work! Always fun to recreate one of those fondly-remembered follies from our youth!

Funny you say that as the eventual plan for this truck is as part of a diorama. Much of it's short life with me was spent as a work bench for the "spare" engine from my '70 Coronet R/T so down the road it will have a 440 with me working on it in the back. It will indeed be a recreated folly!

This is the model of a an actual truck I bought for for $75 back in '79. Mine was really a '73 but nothing really changed much in the couple of years so the '75 is close enough. It had already seen a hard hard life by the time I bought it from a guy that used it in a lime quarry so the paint was toast and much of the body had rust on the rust although there were very few actual holes. Being a single stage enamel paint job there was almost zero gloss left to it and the once vibrant red was more a really dark pinkish brown. I bought it strictly to drive on those frequent occasions when my '70 Coronet R/T was without an engine because I was rebuilding it yet again or to haul tools and tires to the strip (with a buddy driving it). It was a blast to drive though and soldiered on until I pushed it a bit hard one day after about 6 months and blew the head gasket. Then sold it for $100!
The kit shows it's age with a pile of flash and is sort of a mixed bag with a really nice engine, body and drivetrain but an interior that other than the dash is just sort of vaguely interior like. It went together really well though.The main exercise of this project was to get the battered paint and rust just right. I am very happy with the results and it was a ride down nostalgia road through the whole project.
The weird interior. Not sure what version had those fancy seats but I wasn't bothered enough to scratch build the vinyl covered park bench that mine had.
The engine is a little jewel though!
