You may have noticed, but when they made those directional tires the left side are going in the wrong direction!! I don't have it handy right now, but i turned them around to make them right.. I know they don't have the Ground Hawg lettering on that side. What I did was make a mold of the lettering then smeared black RTV into the letter mold. then attached them to the smooth side of the tires! Dennis Yeah, I really hate that they cheaped out on doing the tires correctly. They removed the lettering from the tires in the most recent camo version of the kit so at least you can turn them around right now. I'm going to fix it before I mount them up permanently.
Mahogany Rush Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 Looks good. Should have posted up in the wanted section for a bed. I have one from the Big Country 78 GMC kit that I bashed and didn't use the body. Your utility bed looks great though.

I wanted to a flat bed for this build either way.
Fat Brian Posted May 5, 2018 Author Posted May 5, 2018 The cab is going in the dunk tank due to some wrinkling but I wanted to show the color combination.

Fat Brian Posted June 2, 2018 Author Posted June 2, 2018 I've been back on this for a week or so. I've got the cab ready and the interior and grille installed. I made an 80's style square tube grille as a trial run for some other things I want to build, I also added a big tach to the dash.
