This one would be even simpler to make since there's no specific decoration.

Yesterday I bought this Chevvy 4x4 pull back made by Maisto.
I want to reproduce the 1980 GMC Indy Hauler made for James Garner

1960 Chevrolet "500 Safety Patrol" (Edicola+Salvat/Ixo)
Just a few explanations about how I made this model : I used two modelcars.
The first one is a 1961 C-10 Apache (for the cab) and the second one a 1956 Marta Rocha (for the bed)

The kit only contains a sheet of transparent plastic for the glazing.
Pascal, Love seeing your creations and agree, those curves will require even more creativity. Looking forward to seeing your solution.

I'm going to try cutting out the resin that's in place of the windshield. Then I'll use it to mold a windshield by heating a sheet of clear plastic with a hairdryer.
I hope that will work.

That sounds good to me. Best of luck. I've used all kinds and thicknesses of flexible and perfectly clear plastic that comes as see through packaging over the years. Maybe that is what you use too? Have enjoyed seeing the old photos too.
Cheers and Happy modeling,
Steve
