Looking real good, my friend. Like the color combo and the wheels. Why is that big hole in the bed?

cool! thank you! and that big hole was there when i got this kit in a trade. i guess the guy before was going to C-notch the fram, i think, i am not sure. but i plan on making a bed cover to hide that hole.

oh, and the paint combo! um, well honestly i didn't know what color to paint it, so i started out with it white, then i painted it yellow, and then orange! when i painted the orange, it messed up and it wrinkeld around the bottom of the body, i got tired of trying to fix it, so i just masked off and sprayed it black for the 2-tone! it was all a mistake, but the mistake worked out perfect in the end! lol!

thank you for the compliment! i greatly appreciate it!

yup I kept watching this thread as it went along. just had some issues at home ( as always) lol and was not online a lot. The only thing I could add to make it just a bit better, is a bed cover. Hinge it like the hood but in reverse and I think it would set it apart from the crowd just a bit more. I am very happy that this model actually got someone to enjoy building it.
