Clay Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Well I figured the best way to get out of my slump was to start a new project. I know I said I was gonna finish all my other ones but I just couldnt do it. Anyway here it is. I went ahead and super glued the rear axle to the frame as it will all be the same color. I glued the ground effects kit on as well. the exhaust had the spare molded with it, I didnt like it so I cut it out, I accidently broke on of the tips off though I was able to glue it back on. I will have more pictures later on of this build, hopefully it gets me out of my slump. Edited April 22, 2008 by jones_clayton

When you're in the mood you'll get back to the other projects,

Clay Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 Not sure yet. I need to talk my wife into going to charleston so I can go browse the laquer section at hobbytown usa
Clay Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 are you planning to use the graphics decals? You want them? I have 2 sets that I probably wont use.

Well no model time today. I got to go to work. Yeah that glue is pretty stiff, wife wont let me use it inside, which i shouldnt anyway.
Clay Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 Well, I figured since I was gonna be painting the front grille to match the body and the rims a different color, I decided to strip the chrome off of them. Here is the before shots: And here is the after shots: These pieces sat in SC for about 24 hours, and I had no scrubing to do, just a simple wash and dry.
george 53 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Clay, is that the same truck that comes with the waverider ski-doo? Or is it a completely different truck?Looks like it''ll be pretty cool.I'll be watchin this build.

Oh yeah,welcome back,good to see you at it again Glad to be building again, I know it was only a week or two but it feels like it was an eternity Edited April 20, 2008 by jones_clayton
Clay Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 I decided what to paint the rims. Tamyia Gun Metal. Raul you were right about Tamyia, it goes on smooth and smells great.... I mean looks great. Hope to have the body color figured out soon, might need a trip to Michaels to see if their model section has been updated yet.
Raul_Perez Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I decided what to paint the rims. Tamyia Gun Metal. Raul you were right about Tamyia, it goes on smooth and smells great.... I mean looks great. I'm glad that you liked it! Yes, it does smell pretty good, or at least better than Testors enamel... I've heard that they're currently reformulating the stuff to brush on even better...
sk8freak123 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 i have the same truck but i turned it into a pro street.... chopped the frame and chaneld it, original motor with older stylr intake and carb, took the 4 tires glued them together and ended up with two tyres and put a scratch built rollcage in it yesterday, rollcage alone took me almost 8 hours and still dosent look right, but overall it just needs a few details in the motor and it'll be good to go.... i just need a new windshield, doing custom exhaust today...
Nick F40 Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Tamyia Gun Metal. Raul you were right about Tamyia, it goes on smooth and smells great.... I mean looks great. yeah I love the sweet smell! I love the Gunmetal and Raul, the bottles are amazing.
Clay Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 Ok I have figured what color I want to paint this. It will ba House of Kolor Trublue Pearl, w/ Snow white pearl then a clear coat.
Nate Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Clay, is that the same truck that comes with the waverider ski-doo? Or is it a completely different truck?Looks like it''ll be pretty cool.I'll be watchin this build. To me, it looks like the same kit without the custom front grill.
Clay Posted May 2, 2008 Author Posted May 2, 2008 To me, it looks like the same kit without the custom front grill. It has a funky looking grille but I have no idea how to put it on though.
