mademan Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 The local club that I meet with has a theme night for December of "One of a kind" ( customs, prototypes, phantoms etc) I have been wanting to do a newer Yenko truck for a while so I decided on this Tahoe. I sprayed it Duplicolor Charcoal grey metallic ( ford color) and then Metalcast Transparent Red over top. Decals are Firebird Designs Alps printed ( not the greatest quality) Decals were an issue, very brittle and not thick enough in some areas, causing "bleed through" from the paint. I am using 23" Pegasus Hellas, which I dull coated and misted with a couple different metallic greys to give them that Magnesium cast look. For the interior I added a few little things such as a 4 speed shifter and tach. I am just building this as a curbside to have something for the meeting theme, later on I will revisit the idea with a full detail, probably sporting a clearly scale carbed LSX resin engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabrux Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Not to be "that guy" but your transmission shifter is in the transfer case shifter location. Sticks out like a sore thumb to me as my 96 K1500 has the same interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticks out like a sore thumb to me as my 96 K1500 has the same interior. Its all good lol, its 2wd now, shaved the shifter off the column and put it on the floor. Quick Build completed and in under glass section now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
