WOW, not my cup of tea i would have lowrided this one but man your scratch building skills are stellar, i love that scratch built sway bar, will be watching this one close..........

yikes is right that is gross over kill when a bubble mailer would have done the same thing a probably shipped quicker.

Not hoppin hydros, i have made two purchases there and each time i ordered on a friday, and first thing monday i got my package, they are super fast, that is if your into lowriders, they do have a lot of rims and tires for regular vehicles thou.............................

I think I have decided on the trailer bed layout, but having a hard time with the truck bed, thinking the trailer bed and the truck bed should match. I was thinking that I should lose the pyramid and just make the bed contents match the bed contents.

Thanks James, Sorry for the unfocused pic, could not get in any closer but successfully made my first real chain steering wheel.

might add some skulls here....

I was playing around with ideas for the foam thats supposed to look liked carved stone and made a discovery using the softer foam that you can emboss designs in them using metal jewelery bits and pieces, hummmm leads to even more ideas..............

Virgil coming from you I take that as a huge compliment as I have always looked up to your work since I have discovered your work and also your book on modeling the Dr cranky way. Thank you. Hopefully soon i will master the Dr Cranky painting and weathering methods because i would love to see how your paint techniques would look like on a build like this.

Thank you Derick

FINALLY!!! Finally got down to business to figure out a design for the grille and how it would look over all, not sure about the tooth pick staying, was going to put tooth picks up and down for a grill effect but could break the foam in the process and could use smaller round post, but so far pretty content with the design.

Thanks Virgil, I have been watching your Pharaoh's Patina man i gotta use the book i bought of yours and learn that painting technique.

Been working on the radiator, always wanted a more realistic radiator then what comes in the kit, I came across this tip from a modeling website and to finish it off i have to install the photo etch radiator detail screen on top but that should not be to hard after all the painstaking time that went into the vanes of the radiator.

man this thing is awesome i really like how you portray the rust under the paint, that looks like the real deal, I really have to try this.

Thanks guys..., working on some different ideas for the one of the beds, rethinking the pyramid in the bed of the truck may change that.

Got the seats done, except they need to be just a little higher, will have to work on a pedestal system!!!

adding more to the trailer....

narrowing down the designs will be using on this build.....

Did a dry mock up and force fit the aquarium tank flush in the piece in the ceiling. Now to finish the seats...........

Man that is one awesome kit, like a moron i sold mine, regretted it ever since...............

Thanks Mike, Derrick, got mine from signfoam.com , or you can check with a sign shop that makes customs signs in your area to see if they will sell you some drops or leftovers, thats a long shot but some might. laying out the rest of the interior!

this will be fun to watch!!!

cant wait for updates on this build, love the v dubs...............bought the same kit but had to buy another one as the first one the body had some warpage so i dunk the body in hot water and the top back halve of the roof caved in, very thin and brittle but wanting to see how yours comes out before i decide which way to go on mine.............

No real update just trying to find a place for the aztec warriors...

Actually will have to change my previous stance on the one and done, I just picked up the 1/16 ROG 1951/52 bug and after first inspection will have to get a few more, 1 lowrider 2 1970's custom, 3 box stock!!!
