RocketJockey87 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 well this is my 2nd one of these i built, i wanted the 352 pete to stretch out...but i bought this one screwed up for a decent price, the frame stretch was not in good shape, after a few hours, some cuss words, and a glass of iced sweet tea i got the silly thing straight...anyways heres what ive done so far i should do some purple graphics on the truck, then it will be purple blue and black, like a bruise that it is this trick will never be perfect, which is ok, i think ill use it as a diorama later on in its life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonj238 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Looks good so far. I like older cab over's. On my current project, I also had had problems when I stretched my frame 3 1/2 inches. I've seen it done lots of times on this site, but I haven't been able to find much information on how it's done. It would be great if one of the Pro's could post a tutorial on the do's and don'ts of big rig frame stretching.

gatorincebu Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 First off I want to say how much I like the shop dio! It looks pretty good to me. As for the stretched frame. I liked it long. But then I like the kit length as well. But you are doing a good job on this one thus far. Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
