semijoe

i started on the lower box ive added center light with screws(non-working). few more screws over the doors i made a prototype door with handles like the 1:1 ,i will paint them silver. still alittle mor detail on them

you saw that i had to tear down so i can paint the upper chassis and run wires from the rear. so what a great time to measure for the second truck. i spent the morning measuring out everything for a second truck. the second one will be yellow, single speed instead of a 3 speed. this will give me all the room i need in the engine bay . there will be more details in the second truck to. back to the red one. ive order the mfu kit,which is light and sound kit. also had to order a few other parts. in the mean time i can continue on the lower middle boxes. i saw a few more parts i can detail before remounting them

my 1st attentions where not to do the engine bay , as theres limited space due to the servo, but to give a little more detail ive added a little starter and a back plate. i can still add exhaust and a tubo charger(on order) with tubes. i cant do anything with radiator or fan so back to the compartment cover tomorrow

a really nice guy suggested to make the tranny look like an engine. he sent pictures and info the only thing i couldnt really do is get a true scale of what i need.also with all the accessories on the engine i coulnt really get a clear view. so i went with what i can see and guest work. a thanks to the guys for the info and pictures. hopefully everybody like what i did i had another set of tranny covers. added some heads, valve covers, screws,intake mantifold and some paint. theres a front plate that goes on the front of the engine. if i can get picture of this area, i can probably come up with something

top rails are painted and mounted

you can see that i have it apart, its at the point where i dont want to go to far ahead untill i get the top chassis rails painted .after this part the chassis will be complete and i dont have to go back to it. this is also where all of the rear wiring is done. i also notice the fenders and rear lower section rubbed. so i had to bring each fender out 1mm.

kool, nice pictures. thank you! still thinking on what to use for the rear vents

all painted, lights are hot glued in, pull rings on. alot more to do on this part. bumper, outlet box and mounting brackets need to be done

that must be really kool to see these truck . any info/plans etc, would really help though. im building this off a couple of pictures and rest is guest work. and thank you

hey, thank you

i put a single coat of paint on it. couldnt resist lol

all primed and ready for paint. just need a bracket for the bumper

ive cut the slots in for the lights, added more rivets and pull rings

watching these builds on here has made me go back and do more detailing and its paying off. so i really thank you guys

i dont know even know what to say. im sure youve heard it all. but this is total amazing.
