gautreau Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 This is going to be my scale representation of the truck I would build if I had an unlimited bankroll. I've already got the doors cut open. Here is a mock-up of how it will possibli look. Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gautreau Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 The build process begins.This is the start onf my full kustom frame.To get the 1:1 C10's to lay out you have to "Z" the front frame section which you can see I've done here. Thanx For lookin'. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gautreau Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Yeah I'm sticking with these wheels.They are the closest I could find to a Centerline Smoothie.Hopefully my engine and rear diff center section show up soon so I can start dialing in the air ride set up.

gautreau Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Here is a shot of most of the aftermarket parts I'm going to be using on this build.The only parts not pictured are the airbags and rear diff center sections I'm waiting on to arrive.

crazyjim Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Very interesting. Rick over at Scale Dreams must love you for that order. Who did you order the rear end from? I've been looking for a couple but can't find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for a couple but can't find any. Thanx I appreciate that.I'm not sure I'd say that.The rear centre section is actually from the AMT Rides edition 66 Novathat I sent to a friend and had it cast.I believe he is on here as slammdsonoma. Got my frame built. Here's the frame under the truck. Going to start on the 502 today so I can build the motor mounts. Thanx for lookin'.

gautreau Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Sprayed a quick test hood to lay out my paint idea.The base is metal-speck silver,the skullz are gel pen and the top is metal cast red. Here is a shot of the 502.It is sprayed with the same base and top coat as the test hood. Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
