Project Rover RC (71 C10)
Well, ive started, and had to stop a couple of my projects so far, cause i either fubar'd it or some one else fubar'd it.
 But now i got my hands on the manufacturing class's vacu-form... I made some moulds. and made myself a 71 C10 Stepside! Ill see how it goes. And another one will come along soon with moulded detail, and a fleetside. Let me know whatcha think.

Wow, great job on making a custom body. That's definitely not easy to do!
That's great that you have access to a vacu-form machine. There are many uses for that!  Keep it up!

the hardest part was actually making the block moulds. took me 3 days to get them right. After that just let the vacu-form do its thing, and cut it our on the bandsaw.

Im oben to suggestions on what i could do with it. im thinking of blue with white roof. And maybe some LED lights if i can find some. I still have to fab up a bed mount so it wont shift around.

may want to sand around the wheel wells so its not so rough, and paint the body then paint the details that youve already drawn with a sharpie. lol.

sounds like a plan lol, Me Design/manufacturing teacher is letting me work on it in class which is very nice, I also put a posi- Locker in it lol, stole my lil brothers playdoh and jammed a small peice in the differential. Now it does real good donuts
as for painting details should i just use a fine brush or what?

i would use adhesion promoter first and let that dry and maybe prime it then paint it with some automotive touch up paint.

Very ingenuitive. I say go and add the smaller details such as door lines, the grille, and other bits on the wood mould with an awl/Dremel. Could the Vacu-form get those smaller parts in the plastic?

I like the looks of it, although the division between the blue and white could have been done neater.
