just like my daily driver! do it in pewter silver metallic with tinted lights and windows and you've got my truck

Love the project, is there anyway i can get a couple of those door handles?

The truck is going to be sweet, but as far as I know that motor isn't a diesel, its just a big v8 gas engine.

The diorama is sweet, but I got a kick out of the title. My baseball had a team party at one of the players house and one of the guys "butt dialed" 911. Cop showed up and asked who dialed 911 and he goes i butt dialed! I called back and told them it was a butt dial. It was pretty funny as no one was expecting a cop to show up!

sorry about the bad pictures, my camera broke and I have to use my cheap cell phone to take pictures.

Well I bought this about 2 months ago right before the start of baseball season thinking I would have some time to build it, but I didn't and with baseball season Over I have hit this one pretty hard. Ill let the pictures speak for themselves.

Heres mine. Its my first, just got it a few weeks ago from ym dad. it was his old work truck. 2003 Silverado. 4.3 v6 with a 5 speed manual trans. Has 85,000 miles. I payed my father 2k for the truck and have already put another 1k in it(tires, change fluids, new brakes, fix the backup lights, and get the speedo fixed. Please dont mind the messy interior. Doesnt look like that, thats how i bought the truck.

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words! Thanks! Its from a rattle can. Its Plum Crazy Purple from the Model Master line

the front is actually a semi front end, i belive moebius(hope i spelled it right) casted it. Not sure of the kit. Ill have to give it a look though, edit: the International Lonestar

I spent the weekend painting the willys. Its Plum Crazy Purple from Model Master with gloss clear. 3 coats of primer, 4 coats of paint, and 4 coats of clear! What do you think? PS. the hairs on the car arent actually in the paint.

awesome build! and the bmf looks awesome! If you didnt tell me I wouldnt have thought it was your first try! Good Job! Lets see the next one!

so smooth transitions and subtle changes that it looks like they were ment to be from the show room! Great build!

I dont like it, I LOVE IT!

1/24 th scale is what im worki ng with and i want to replicate the standard gauge rooll cage for a drag setup.

As they title states whats the best size of rod styrene to make roll cages?

If one opf you buys it I would be more than happy to drive 30 miles to pick it up for you and drive it and personally deliver it

thanks, I appreciate the kind words.

First willys ive done. First time ive wired a motor and much more. I over did it with the glue in some spots, unfortunatly, but for the first time of wiring i think it was pretty good.

I wasnt able to find any old pictures of it, but here it is right now. Will have some more progress soon... Needs alot more work(its ugly right now), but im a little more motivated to work on this now! So should start getting done.

Ok well this has been on my bench for awhile now, its time i start posting on it. Ive been in a slump for A LONG time (4 months) and havent had the motivation to build anything. Im going to dig back a little bit in my photobucket and try to find the starting out pictures. and ill work my way up to where its at now. Hopefully ill have pictures for it sometime tomorrow, but heres where it is now. For only being 16 and being like my 3rd customa nd being my first all out custom, i dont think its turning out to abd so far.

Ill come turn some wrenches on it come april!!!

Well since i dont build semi, but i still love them, i have no clue where to get cool aftermarket semi parts. I got the white freightliner coe by amt for chriistmas and want to stretch the frame and add as many deatils as possible. So if you know of any places to get big rid details coud you please post a link here. Thanks, Nathan
