Road Champs 6480 1:43 scale diecast 1953 Chevy 3100 pickup truck - Primer paint version

This 1:43 scale diecast vehicle is a neat model that could be used with O scale model railroads. It is a close replica of the classic 1953 Chevrolet pick-up truck. The model has "rubber" tires, opening side doors, opening tailgate and a detailed interior. This version of the model is painted in "primer".

The plan is to completely disassemble the model and convert the model into a heavily weathered "junkyard" model. Original model photos shown before modifications.

Here are photos of the body of the truck with interior and all exterior details removed. The next step would be to weather the body, doors and underbody to portray a rusty junkyard model.
