OK, here's my update, sorta. I am waiting to paint. Last few weeks have been nothing but rain every day. The humidity is so high it aint funny. I tried laying down some satin black that I really love the shade of and from a rattle can at that. It never fails and always looks great. Well, it's got this white ghosting effect due to all the humidity, so painting is off till this rain ends. Maybe you have seen where Six Flags is Ga. in under water. I'm just 2.5 hrs from there in TN. and it's the same system hitting us.

All I need to do is paint the body and engine and wire it up and mine is done.

Sorry I haven't posted anything on my scout for a while. I've put it aside for a week While I work on finishing a 98 trans am ws6. I should start back on it by the end of the week(hopefully!). I probly won't get it done by the dead line because I half cabed it, put in a shortend 99 silverado bed, and still need to build a roll cage, build the back half of the frame and finally asembly! I'll post pics some time soon!

Well here is my pics. I know I have alot of catching up to some of the other guys, but I should be able to get this done.

The box and the box art. Taken today.

A quick mockup of how this will sit and the rims I will be using.

003-59.jpg

And the bed floor has been cut out to make room for the bodydrop. I will replace the bed floor with a custom made floor with wheel tubs.

Enough yapping. Time for me to get back to work on this.

Alright, here is where I am at right now. Started working on a custom tubular frame for this. So far I have the floor board section of this almost completed.

Nick, got your message, if I have anything left over from this kit, then yes, you are welcomed to it.

Looks good James, I like this so far, BTW the interior is kinda bland, how are you gonna spice it up? Also the engine seem's very small. Or atleast that was my opinion when I built this truck.

Thanks Nick, I will shave the inner door panels and make some custom inserts. As well as a few other goodies I have in store for this. Not diggin the seats that came with this kit. I have a grip of stuff in my parts boxes. Engine wise, Gonna go with a Ross Gibson motor.

Here is a little more progress on the frame. Not much, but its gonna be wild.
