73-87 Chevy Model - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thought some of you might buzz on this. Don't see to many 73-87 models around.

Look half way down on the right side for the green one.

I like that second one!

The Revell-Monogram kits are fun, but if you want something more accurate to build a replica of your truck, find the old MPC kits. You might have to mix and match them some, but it's worth it!

You forgot this one on that site Scott:

Didnt see where you coud buy this one, maybe its just a custom example.

My neighbors car looks almost identical to this Super Bee:

alf4444 · 04-23-2003, 02:27 PM

It seems to that they are 73-80 series, anyone found anthing from 81-87

Yeah, I missed that one alright! But, that stepside looks ultra wide on that. Looks almost like a cartoon drawing or something. I'd like to find one that I could build that would look like what I WANT mine to look like. 73-80 stepside, lowered, with Indigo blue paint.

This post on model car's/truck's is great. It would be a great Idea to continue and see the many members of the form to send in there photos of models that we all have built of are own projects.

bigblock73 · 04-29-2003, 12:56 PM

Here is a pic of a replica I am trying to build of my truck. It is radio controlled and I used a Clodbuster body...although the front is a 81+ model...oh well.

I have "created" one piece side glass, smoothed the fake tilt front end lines, and shortened the bed to a SWB.

It will be fun once it is finished!

BTW - what kind of adhesive can I use to bond the two plastic pieces together...and will it be strong enough or will it seperate when it is driven?

Thanks - Jeff

PHOENIX · 04-29-2003, 02:01 PM

Sweet!
How fast is it going to go?

apstguy · 04-29-2003, 07:35 PM

Use Epoxy! Get the right type, and it will become stronger than the plastic is. My bro is into those RC cars and just sold a nitro one. Where did you get that body??? I want one!!!

it is from a Tamiya Clodbuster kit...you can also buy the body kit seperately. Look on E-bay under the RC section. Warning, they usually fun about $40 for the body kit...and the older series actually had a bowtie on the grill and "Chevrolet" on the TG...they usually go for more $$.

**Captkaos** · 04-30-2003, 12:35 PM

I have the second one that Jeff posted at the top.... Somewhere... It wasn't that accurate, but it was all I could find at the time.

The RC looks SWEET!!!.. I am trying to get my RC car running again. I need to get one of those bodies!!! That is SWEET Jeff!

bigblock73 · 04-30-2003, 12:53 PM

Eddie, have no clue...but not very fast since I don't want to damage all my hard work.

Chris, what kind of car do you have?

Jeff, it is OLD, like 89-91. It has a Cox .049 gas engine site LOW on the ground.
It looks like this (the body)
