mademan Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 The local club that I meet with has a theme night for December of "One of a kind" ( customs, prototypes, phantoms etc) I have been wanting to do a newer Yenko truck for a while so I decided on this Tahoe. I sprayed it Duplicolor Charcoal grey metallic ( ford color) and then Metalcast Transparent Red over top. Decals are Firebird Designs Alps printed ( not the greatest quality) Decals were an issue, very brittle and not thick enough in some areas, causing "bleed through" from the paint. I am using 23" Pegasus Hellas, which I dull coated and misted with a couple different metallic greys to give them that Magnesium cast look. For the interior I added a few little things such as a 4 speed shifter and tach. I am just building this as a curbside to have something for the meeting theme, later on I will revisit the idea with a full detail, probably sporting a clearly scale carbed LSX resin engine
gatorincebu Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Cool idea. nice paint color. I think you will have a winner here. especially if you detail it like you mentioned , later on. Be Well Gator
GLMFAA1 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Looks good, better throw in a clutch pedal! greg
mademan Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 I got a bit more done, Side trim painted, Yenko decals added to the sideplates in the trim. Final clear coat. Interior is all done and ride height has been set.
Atmobil Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Very cool looking and a fun idea. The wheels suit it very well
Fabrux Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Not to be "that guy" but your transmission shifter is in the transfer case shifter location. Sticks out like a sore thumb to me as my 96 K1500 has the same interior.

Quick Build completed and in under glass section now.
KWT Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 This is awesome! The color is great!.. the stance.. the wheels (which I've been looking for, for a year)... makes me want one!
