truckaddict Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 hey would you be interested in trading the grill from you silverado for the custom one that came in the silverado + jetski kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModlerChris1987 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Well an update on the truck, the body is sitting in color and I'm hoping that I can get pics of it tonight, there is a spot on the bed that is starting to orange peel so I have to sand that bed down to hopefully fix it.

ModlerChris1987 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 I need to post more pics up of the body, it is currently sitting in color but thinking it may needed to be sanded some more. But I will post more on this tomorrow, going to be doing a different wheel option on it and instead on the back seats I'm going to put in a sub box.

JasonFL Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Just curious but what are the first set of rims from? I was really liking that choice of rims but then you went with the after market ones. Like the colors, keep it going.

ModlerChris1987 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 The first set of rims came from a 1:24 scale die cast mustang. I de chromed the aftermarket rims and painted them gun metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
