Timeline Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 So, my first pick-up truck. I'm not doing a body drop or a lift with it, just normal height, original wheels/tires. Don't know about the paint yet, open to all ideas, as well as the interior. And, if anyone needs the instruction sheet, let me know, because I haven't found one online yet.

Nick W. Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I would paint it olympic white, with a grey interior. Otherwise you could do a newer model year cobalt blue metallic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeline Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks guys, about the paing, I was thinking about metallic silver/grey, and tan interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeline Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Got the interior halfway done, now i need to sand the seats and paint them. Painted with Tamiya Deck Tan and detailed with Tamiya Flat Aluminum. Edited March 19, 2012 by Timeline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Gore Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 yes, the engine paint and build up looks great. As far as what color for the body, I don't know. I'd like to see it as a daily driver. And subtle weathering as light dusting like the owner hasn't washed it in 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeline Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 So, the whole interior finished. Now, I'll try to find a suitable color for the chassis and body. Suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The chassis on this truck is black , thats how it comes from the factory, a semi gloss or satin black will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowsWillRise Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Looking good so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeline Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Got the undercarriage finally done, engine and drivedrain installed. EDIT : Forgot to add, that I primed the body as well. Edited March 22, 2012 by Timeline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Looks good! Take care when inserting the interior into the body. When it looks right to the Mk 1 eyeball, the interior is actually a bit to high, and the dash interferes with the windshield. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The chassis looks great, I agree it what G said, and I had problems with the front bumper as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
