Don't worry I clean it every single day after it rains, I can't stand a dirty vehicle!
-
Haha You're not the first to tell me that. But in the spring it will be dropped 3/4. I need it for one more winter and then it's getting stored from then on.

Got my truck back from the body shop and got my new wheels.
-
Hey thanks everyone! I appreciate all of the comments!
-
So today I was able to spray the second color and clear before I went to work. It's coming along now! It needs a couple more coats of clear, then the paint is done! Thanks for looking.
-
OK so my plans fell through tonight so I sprayed the base coat on the dodge! Everything is good except the drivers side door badge decided to ghost through. I sealed and primed it but for some reason it wanted to. The passenger side is fine though. I will fix that tomorrow and spray some more base coat, then on to the second color.
-
Thanks but it will be these two colors: That's why I did the engine/engine bay in those colors! And as for the wheels they come in the Revell 2009 challenger srt8 kit. They are a great size for trucks since they are so big.
-
Thanks man! Today I did alittle tweaking to the hood prop, but that was all I had time for!
-
Got my wheels for my truck! They look awesome, but I have to wait till next Friday to get them on for good, because it's going in for some body work Monday. Overall I'm excited!
-
Thanks guys! As for that f150 I used a monogram f250 and cut it down to a reg cab/short box f150. I need to get back on it soon. So today I did a little to the interior and made a hood prop to keep the hood open. Now I need to finish the body work since it is almost ready for paint. Chassis is completely done minus shocks: Hood prop: Thanks for looking.

I like it, very similar to how I want to build mine. -
So I'm trying to keep this updated as often as possible so I do not lose interest in it. So far it seems to be working. I have flocked the interior and have painted the base color of it, now it needs alot of details. Coming along good so far:
-
What do you think of yours? Mine is awesome.
-
Thanks guys.
-
Thanks guys! So I have finished the engine and the wheels. I need to dull coat a couple of the engine parts, but it's pretty much done. Now I need to finish the body work and get a base coat on. I still need an interior color. Thanks for looking.
-
Hey nick I can't wait to see this build! The truck looks great so far and it looks to be coming along good so far.
-
I bought this today, I love it and the camera is great.
-
So I have a small update, I stripped the wheels and have added the final coats of filler, now to just sand and prime. I also detailed the intake. Thanks for looking, more will come soon.
-
So I have finished off the tailgate and roll pan. I have a few small blemishes to fix but nothing major. I am going to two tone it with a gunmetal and burgundy on top. I dull coated the rims and I will paint the centers gunmetal. The chassis is almost finished and the engine has been started too. Started engine and engine bay, those are the colors that will be on the truck: Chassis: Thanks for looking.
-
So here's a small update. I got the suspension set up the way I like, just need to lower the rear some. I also shaved the badges off the side and I am smoothing the roll pan and shaving the tailgate handle.
-
I found these the other day, they were pretty rough but at least they looked cool. Not great photos but I was surprised to see them just on the side of the road. And this picture of my truck I just love, it looks so good to me and it's one of the best pictures I've ever taken.
-
Thank you guys! I focused on the body on this build just to see what I could pull off. I was really going for a 70's-80's theme and I think it turned out good.
-
Thanks guys. I'll see what I can do about the bumper Casey, thanks for the heads up.
-
So I bought this revell ram vts from a collector when I purchased a bunch of other kits from him. I only paid 5 bucks for it because the body parts were painted. The rest of the kit was still on the trees in unpainted conditions. The only thing wrong was the decals are garbage. So I striped the paint and this is what I am going for. I might shave the tailgate handle and roll pan, but nothing extreme. But it will be a bright color. Thanks for looking.
-
I finally finished this thing. It was really just practice for my airbrush, so there is alot of things that are not perfect. But it looks pretty good and it looks great on my shelf. Thanks for looking.
