Definately an RC "Scaler", the lower control arms look like they might be Traxxas parts, the front shocks look like Losi Mini-T upgrade shocks turned upside down, the rims are Pro-Line Shooter-8's with either Pro-Line or RC4WD BFG look-a-like tires, looks like there's a Deans Plug under the hood, the LCA mounts look like they're from a Tamiya solid axle truck (I want to say either TLT or Highlift), and the body and driver look to be from 21st Century Soldier

I remember that show!

Chevy Beauville GMC Vandura

I read somewhere that this car went over some rip rap before and or during that slashdown too......that had to tear the snot out of that car's underbelly

Those '68-'70 B-Body kits make great donor kits for this car, the w.b. is just about perfect and you get a real underhood body structure too! That 4spd is normal on the kits sold from this tooling too, as is the 440-6 Pac induction.......

Looks neat so far!

Nah, that's ok Nick, I just remember that grill and flair package from a 4wd GM Concept truck that was built 16 or 17 years ago to "forecast" the then upcoming S-Truck styling. Dang, I'm suddenly feeling old, I was a high-school freshman or sophomore when that truck came out

After Harry put up that one Mercedes that was a huge scale model, I'm going Model on this one, I just gotta feeling for some reason...

But if you do, PUT IT ON VIDEO TAPE!

Now that I look at it, I think it might have a Flathead Straight 8!

That's what I do all year round, just be careful if you're going to use Pactra's candy lacquers, wait until it's warmer or atleast bring the piece in where it's warm because it has a funny reaction to cold weather. Last time I did that the lexan shell I painted looked like it had a pretty serious clear coat fade like you sometimes see on early 90's Jeeps!

That is a beautiful truck! The color even looks like Chrysler's Crystal Black Clear Coat paint!

Very true, htey are pretty nice. Did any of you guys ever notice that the rims included with this kit are 6 lug instead of the proper 5 lug bolt pattern?

Ah, that's what happened to the one form that Bond movie

GM had a huge recall on breaking tailgate straps a few years back here in the States. The way the news media made it sound, you'd swear that if a cable broke, the truck would careen out of control, take out church bus full of widows, orphans, and Nuns, then hit a nuke transport truck causing a nuclear holocaust of biblical proportions

Nice, love the hairdryer too! What model locomotive did you steal it from

And in styrene it would work great with that new Losi Micro Crawler too

I'd buy it in plastic too!

Nah, it's a Chevy, they broke off years ago

Yup, as did the 348" V-8 in the AMT '58 Impala kit.

Nice, looks like it belongs on the track stalking BMWs, not burning the weeds in some fairground

Looking good, love the color!!

I keep thinking model for some reason, so I'm going with that!

Is this going to a rat or period show style rod?

I remember that D.A.R.E. car in an old issue of S.A.E. from yeeeeaaars ago!
