84 GMC WIP

Well got started on her yesterday and had to get rid of those box lines.

I'm thinking Tu-tone and weathered so if you have any ideas throw them out their and I might use them ???

Off and running. 4X4, not sure on the colors but the rusting should be cool. I guess jsut about any to colors would work together.

Great start Walt. Is it going to be that high? Looks good. at that height.

Give it plenty of dings and scratches!!

Need a little help here guys , has anyone built the AMT 84 GMC Pickup ?
Which way is the two hangers on the rear of the front springs suppose to go ? as you can see they show the tab inside on both, but if you do that they go opposite directions or do I have it right ?...Thanks for any help :(

That being the front, you probably have it right. :cheers:

Walt: I like the idea of a beater. Lots of dents and surface rust are cool. I'm personally not wild about a two-tone on this body style.

I'm curious to see how this one differs from the Monogram version. Good start on it. Keep it coming!

not sure if i can help Walt built the 84 back in 08

Ok well progress has been a little slow as I have been trying to learn how to use the rusting solution, but got the cab corners done and engine almost done



Had to pin the exhaust so they would mate up better


Tailgate is all fitted

Coming along nicely Walt. That engine looks good.

Lookin' good. I believe from looking at my scrap '84 GMC that you got the hangers in the right position.

Hey now !! I am trying to get rid of the rust on my '79. lol

I know what you mean. We're constantly trying to keep it at bay on our 1:1 stuff and here we are cheering it on in scale!

I like the look of the engine, the body is coming along nicely too.

Well got a little more done, I got the grill all detailed and made new Alum. driveshafts


MOD-PODGE in the lights for some depth

Nice work Walt. Those drive lines are sweet.

Lookin good, Walt.

Lookin' good Walt! The driveshafts look killer! Great job! Like the way you brought out the details in the grill. Not easy as I know from experience. 8)

Nice work.

OK.... what is Mod-Podge?

Got the Base coat of Silver shot and Two top coats shot, the blue is Tamiya TS-50 Mica Bue

This is Mod podge dries crystal clear and works great on dashes and mirrors

Thanks Walt. Never seen nor heard of that. I use two part clear epoxy.

That blue looks spectacular! Can't to see what the other color is going to be. I'm gonna have to see if Hobby Lobby or Michael's carries that Mod-Podge. Looks like great stuff. 8)
