John, this may sound a bit mental, but what if you got a second model Gene, so you can keep one as is and use the other to make him fit the truck. You could carefully cut him at the hips and knees etc, re-set them with glue or expoxy, use a little bondo to fill any gaps if necessary, sand and touch up with black paint. If you are able to build a complex cab, you are definitely able to do that and you would not see much of it anyway, but this truck would be SO well finished off to actually have Gene behind the wheel.

Worth considering!

SWAGGER you're making my brain hurt lol. But that is worth considering though. Our local walgreen carried a few things from kiss like notebooks christmas tree ornaments. Now you got my wheels turning. I think I may try to get another Gene and two of Paul, Paul as a passenger...who knows. There are so many things that could be done to this project, it seem's it may never end. BTW, my wife thinks i've lost my mind.

Thanx buddy, Big John

John,

You've done a ton of styrene work on that cab! It loks awesome man, very good job! Man I tell you, styrene work is the most time consuming part of a build imo.

I'm watching this build, can't wait to see your paint scheme for this one.

Thank you Marty I have to agree, the styrene work is very time consuming, but I hate sanding. I can't wait to get some color on this.

No worries Big John! It would be cool to have Kiss members in the cab alright but I am sure whatever you do will be first class.

Thank you buddy, and after thinking about Gene driving, I found the king interior. I am going to try attempting to cut and reshape Gene and if I can find him, Paul. Stay tuned for more.

YOU WANTED THE BEST, AND YOU GOT THE BEST, THE HOTTEST...Oh wait this isn't a kiss concert.
Anyway's I did some painting last night and today...Now I know this isn't the body, but I decided to bring the paint technique inti the cab. I got a container deep enough for the dash.



Put enough water so it would be completly submurged.



Sprayed three colors of choice.



Now I swirled, (do not mix) the paint. I got into a hurry and forgot to take pic's of swirling and dipping the dash...But I WILL on the body.



And I detailed the seats, because of SWAGGER, LOL!!! And even if I can't put Gene and Paul in the positions I need, there will still something for eye appeal.



Thanx for looking, and thanx SWAGGER for getting me to install the interior, Big John
