crazyrichard Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 thnx i thought the racer was too clean , like something was missing . i usually dont like flames on cars but these where the best option i had from what i had lying around . and well when they where on i really liked it. the decals have had a mild white wash to blend in with the salt weathering .. and made a bar on the back of the racer where the truck's pushbar can push against Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyn Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The truck is turning out fantastic, Richard. Have you started on the trailer yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 thnx guys , and no i have not started teh trailer , i'm curently looking for a cheap old trailer to use the parts from , hope to get one very very cheap as i find a kit to expensive for what i am planning , most will be scratch and a all wooden floor (real wood) also i will put smaller siz wheels on it from my partsbox so i can keep the floor low and make a gooseneck , so the base can be an old trailer from any kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 thnx !! well this racer is made out of an old left over busted body and some spare parts i could find (even some stuff out of a old formula 1 kit) one day i def. want to make a noher one and then use a full kit so i can really make a big project out of it. this racer was actually done just to put on the trailer and as a test for salt weathering .. i'm also planning on making a belly tank racer and maybe score a old airplain kit and use the hull of the plain as a body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
