|

I've been wanting to do the GMC stunt vehicle from the Burt Reynolds flick "Hooper".
Does ANYone, know what color it was, and what the heck was on the tailgate?
(I know it's red, looking for a color name)
Best shots I could find. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

It looks to be a factory color and I noticed that it has a Chevy grill. But I don`t know about the tail gate. Maybe you could google factory paint colors for each year Chevy truck from late 1970s to 1985. Good luck, that would be a nice build. |

I've looked up factory colors and I'm pretty sure it's the red Poly.
Interesting to note, for this scene the truck's body was mounted backwards on the frame. Unsure why. Any stuntman worth his belt could have done it without that trick.
As for the tail gate? Who knows! _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

Hooper's 1977 Sierra Classic K15 is on my projects list. Best sources to build it are the Revell 1977 Sierra Plow Truck, swapping out the bed with the stepside in the Revell 1976 Chevy Sport Stepside. From watching the movie footage, I believe the correct body color in the Poly Red. The trick is finding the pinstriping trim decals, as is the custom tailgate. |
