Chevrolet Truck '49 (1) - Body and Structure

This was a request for a body that has very few squared edges. After finishing the bed, all the rest was done using vacuum form molds.
Requests for custom trucks should be sent to [e-mail]

@@wesmadebuilds681 I know that feeling buddy

[@rctrucktalk1149]

You have some serious skill sets, you make it look almost easy but we are not fooled. The build looks great can't wait to see the next stage.

[@wesmadebuilds681]

It is for sure getting easier, but then I try something new and the struggle continues!

I'm waiting for someone to 3D print full size bodies and fenders. These models look just like the full-size vehicles.

[@wesmadebuilds681]

This was done already on Bad Obsession Motorsports. Crazy large 3D printer!

Thanks!

[@angelomolina3967]

excellent work, I want to start doing just like you here in Brazil. I didn't know this technique of molding expanded PVC. How do you fix the piece to the frame to press? Grateful!

[@wesmadebuilds681]

just pop some hole in the plastic and send screws through. The plastic is sandwiched between two boards.

[@chevyandford500]

[@flatbedtrucker]

Hey Wes how can I get up with you I’m working on a project wanted to see if you are interested in doing a project for me

[@wesmadebuilds681]

sorry, many comments got dumped into a folder and I just found them. Email me at [e-mail]

[@Lulu_racing]

How do you cut out the letters for the truck because I every time I try I mess it up

[@wesmadebuilds681]

I use a cricut with .015 Styrene. What are you having problems with?

[@Lulu_racing]

Just curing the lines straight

[@Lulu_racing]

I’m building a 1998 Chevy Silverado and I can’t make the badge on the tailgate

[@wesmadebuilds681]

1TWENTY5 Off-Road if you don’t have a Cricut machine it will be hard. Email me at [e-mail] a picture of what you want. I can cut you one for just the cost of shipping and a few bucks for material.

[@rigelrogers5264]

What thicknesses of sheet did u use as im wanting to make a tray(flatbed) for a model fj47 landcruiser
