how did you get the older chevy grill in the 84 grill spot on the what looks like a farm truck cause i tried everything and nuthin worked i tried cutting the grill to make fit and i also tried sandin the inner fenders down and yet again that didnt work any help?

Re: Custom Models
 

I took a section out of each side of a 1/24 scale Revelle 1976 chevy grill and sectioned it to fit in the AMT Ertl 1984 GMC front clip, I was just very careful to cut strait and true to section it cutting from the back side with a Zona razor saw and a mytre box to not damage the chrome. if you look closely you'll see the seam lines about where the trim lines on the 1:1 are in the 70's vintage

You guys are gonna make me dig out my models and start workin on them....

Re: Custom Models
 

I dug up my old kit and started working on it. I had to sand down all the old paint and start all over again. I wanted to paint it to match my truck. No I just gotta see if I can find the rest of the pieces in storage.

Not the same kit, but there's a promo on ebay at the moment. Certainly outside my price range for a model:

And here's a 1972 kit at a very affordable price:

Re: Custom Models
 

Here is the start to my first project. I have only finished one plastic model ever, a 96 Impala SS about 6 or 7 years ago, but I wanted to try it again. I used to build all sorts of metal snap together kinds and then build accessories out of popsicle sticks. This time, I am going to try and build a functional rollback. Here is the cab I just bought on ebay, and a picture of the truck I am modeling it after.
