  5. http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj635/alteredvisionscustoms/IMAG0809_zps7f08c200.jpg this is how i made the rims they r three pieces of sheet styrene sandwicthed together i drew the design on using a circle template n compass the hand cut each port open n drilled the holes in the bottom layer they have resin lips right now for mock up but i will b making aluminum lips for them on my lathe
  6. this is the upper bars for the four-link,I had to make a perch for the forward brackets out of square tubing and sheet styrene everything is just bein held together with pins right now but will have scale hardware holding it when done
  7. Thanks man ive always had a passion for slammed vehicles
  8. this is how i made the lower bars for the triangulated four-link,I made them out of aluminum tubing and the brackets are made out of square styrene tubing
  9. this is the rearend i widened the pro street rearend out of the same superbird kit the seats came out of,and a shot of everything so far mocked up together
  10. I made some bucket seats out of the front bucket/bench seats of a dodge superbird, and started cutting down the interior bucket for mock up none of the interior is complete just getting it mocked up at this point i have a full custom interior planned for her
  11. this the frame im building for this truck its all built out of stock styrene i messured everything and drew it on graph papper then cut n glued all the pieces together i used a miter box for all the cuts
  12. Thank you, no I cant leave things alone custom runs thru my vains man
  13. lol I think I did and if not she isnt done yet .... Thanks man just gettin back into the hobby
  14. Thank you sir I just wanted to build something nobody else has and this is what I came up with
  15. this is how i made the front bumper keep in mind i didnt want it to be exactly stock just subtle changes so anyway i sectioned the bumper from a 1500 silverado into three pieces n added styrene to widen it out to the width of the new fenders,added pieces of styrene under the headlight area n the side of the bumper to get the shape right and to shave the bumper into the fenders then blocked it all into shape at this point i was just tryin to get everything roughed into shape
  16. this is the hood i made same process as before,and i also started roughing in the headlights at this point
  17. I did the same process as the rear for the front fenders this was to get them roughed in so i could see how i was going to make the frontend
  18. this is how I made the rear body panels I drew a patteren on a index card cut it out traced it on sheet styrene cut it out layered it on the body and blocked it into shape
  19. i shaved the taillights and tailgate,and built a rollpan out of sheet styrene then cut the interior bucket up n use the back piece for the rear cargo section and filled in the gap where the old window sat
  20. the size rim i wanted to use wouldnt let the truck lay out so i cut the body n added a piece of styrene so i could tuck the rims in the fenders and still lay out
  21. Thanks man, I will have pics up of how I made the rims and everything else on this truck asap im starting at the begining so give me a lil bit
  22. this is how i cut the body up to get the basic shape of the truck
  23. So i thought i would post all the build pics of this truck hope you guys enjoy them let me tell you there are a lot this is my concept drawing,the kit i started with,and the first step i did i cut off the running boards so i could lay rockers
  24. Thanks man appreciate it I have some plans for this beast so stay tuned and i hope u enjoy
