You've got some pretty sweet project builds, and nice skills!

SWEET!!! it would be good if you were to find that tailgate and grill with the Chevy insignias and logo. That would make the build totally killer.
I don't know why Tamiya stopped with the Chevy logos and stuff. THey looked way more authentic with them on it.
Still a very sweet build. You got Mad Skillz!!

Tamiya had legal issues with Chevy early on in production, and had to stop using the badge/name on the bodies.

Oh wow!! I didn't know that.
I think my local hobby shop has some Clod Buster tree parts still with the Chevy Logos.
I'll have to look and see if I can swoop them up then.
Nice...

If they do, you should definitely get them. They command a substantial amount of money as that's what everyone wants.

I would definitely be interested in those pieces if you can locate them

Hey there!
Just as I thought. The local shop did/does have them tucked away in a storage box.
They were priced at $75/ea set (bag X10079 - White G tree, chrome H tree, and Clear K tree).
SO I bought them.

Thanks for the heads up on the scarcity of those.
I also bought an original white Chevy body for the Clodbuster as well.
It wasn't in a bag but it completed the body set. (except for the glass).

You can find reproduction grilles and tailgates on eBay for $22 each. Unfortunately they're not chrome. However somebody did a nice job with their 3D printer. While I know they're not THE sought after pieces, I think they look better than that 4x4x4 across the grille, and could really look the part of you have modeling skills. I’m eyeing a set myself.

Btw that’s a fine clod you have there. Mind if I ask what the chassis is?
