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'.

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'.

looks great u going to use those wheels or u got some bigger of a donk car i have same truck that i slamed an its on scale 24s of a dub city car.

[gautreau]

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.

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.

I look forward to seeing more of the progress on this truck. I drive a bagged body dropped truck daily and just love these builds

[Still2High]

This is gonna be a sick build! I can not wait to see you put in more work on this!!

[gautreau]

Thanx fellas,I appreciate that.A whole new frame is in the works right now so look for pictures hopefully by the weekend.

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.

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'.

Nice man! You should check out the Community Build I just posted! Enter your truck!

Thanx I appreciate that.I might enter.But I'm pretty sure it won't be done by september.

[gautreau]

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'.

I love slammed trucks! This one is looking great - I can see why this would be your dream truck!

I'm gonna have to keep my eye on this section of the board!

[Still2High]

This paint job is going to be sick!!!

[gpugh1976]

I'm watching this.....

[gautreau]

Sorry I've been behind on posting fellas.I moved almost a month ago now and been slowly getting my building room slowly in order.I got a new frame built for this build.For anyone keeping count thas # 3.

Next I'm building the components for the 6 link rear suspension.

[tooltas]

looks good why a 6 link? u could get by 4 link set up

Very true.But I like the look of a cantilever set-up.

[Dr. Cranky]

Love the way this one is turning out. Great body work and details. Keep it going.
