[zappto 154]

Got this truck not long ago, hope to fix it and make it running again. I really like appearance of this truck, when it is good condition! Well, a lot of work ahead. Hope you like photos.

Fixing front of the truck.

Great job! Keep us posted :-)

Nice work . Where did you get the front corners , or are they the stripped back originals ? .

[zappto 154]

Thank you. As i was told it was cut down because it was broken, and later was made these from resign, i just added to my body. I can say a lot of fitting to make it look proper, i think i like the way they look now.

I'd like to move this over to the build section if thats ok? Would be good to see the progress there.

[zappto 154]

Hello, yes i think it best fits build section.

I've not seen resin casts of these panels before . I have seen full repro bodies and roof wings some years ago on eBay but not repair panels  .  They are a great way to repair damaged bodies . Looks great .

Hello, Got new body for my Blazing blazer, which is not hard damaged.Was working on the body, it has a lot of cracks and small damage all around. A lot of gluing, priming and sanding. Few photos:

[zappto 154]

Yes, i hope so, that one is worse, and will need more job!

[KEV THE REV 1491]

[zappto 154]

Hello Cooltools, you should fix your car for sure, it is worth. I had a lot of fun working on it. After a lot of hours of work Blazer body looks like this.

Super Sweet . Is that an alu. roll cage or the original one sprayed chrome ?

[zappto 154]

Hello, it is alu. roll cage. I need to wait my paint to arrive, body shell, is almost finished for painting, few minor things.

[zappto 154]

Hello all, started painting the body, still need to wait my silver paint for the roof, few photos of the build.

Please,

Tell me more about the roof made by resign?

[KEV THE REV 1491]

I think it is cast resin . I have one made by Jim Sourbeck who used to repro these parts some years ago .
