B_rad88 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Posted July 19, 2009 first of let me say WOW i am a tard! i forgot to post the pic on the last update! SORRY EVERYONE!!!!! my bad! ok, on this update, i glued in the modified front suspension! here are the pics: thanks for looking!
RodneyBad Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 It's looking Low Big and Low that is but why add the front axle? going for an AWD look?
RodneyBad Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 thanks ! and awd look ? it is awd !!!! lol! It sounded better in my head. With out the front axle , maybe ya could drop the front more. Something to that effect. the stock suspension! but i am going to highly modify the suspension so i can drop it!!!! and plus i am going to keep the 4wd! I totally sped read right pass that. 1/20 Linbergs seems to be tough kits. I've started 2. That's it. Wheels look good under it.

I have a Explorer and a Firebird (street custom?). I thought I had a nissan truck but I'm not sure were that is. I guess their just larger than what I like do. And the Plastic, Geeeesh..
B_rad88 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 oh, they are a little wierd to work on be cause they are 1/20 scale! and my plastic is hard! very hard! but my dremel and small wire cutters didn't have a problem! but my hand.....LOL! is your the same? is that how lindberg kits are made? i also have a 1/32 scale lindberg 1903's? chevy pickup!
B_rad88 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 hey zuk, can i ask you a question? would you want to trade parts or $ for the italdesign nazca wheels?

B_rad88 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 ok, i do have one problem!!! does any one have one of these????
diymirage Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 gotta love those bursts of actually getting something done also, have you considered building a rear roll pan for it ? gives it a lot cleaner look
B_rad88 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 gotta love those bursts of actually getting something done also, have you considered building a rear roll pan for it ? gives it a lot cleaner look up, i love it alot!!!!! lol! and hum, no i didn't! thank you, now i am going to look into it! question? do you have a ref pic?
diymirage Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 well, here is one on a toyota and here is one on my 53 ford basically what it does is ad a body panel on the rear end instead of or underneath the bumper that "rolls" underneath the body (hence the name roll pan) like i said, it gives the truck a much cleaner look FYI i an planning on building one for my bug
B_rad88 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 oh, that! lol, i feel like a tard! i was thinking of something different! lol!!! i am thinking about it! but i am not sure if i want to keep the rear "4x4 bar" bumper! that would be the only clue that its a 4x4! i want to fix the front bumper gaurd! to help add to the clues! lol! but i might just do that! thank you for the idea!!!!!!!
diymirage Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 oh, that! lol, i feel like a tard! i was thinking of something different! lol!!! i am thinking about it! but i am not sure if i want to keep the rear "4x4 bar" bumper! that would be the only clue that its a 4x4! i want to fix the front bumper gaurd! to help add to the clues! lol! but i might just do that! thank you for the idea!!!!!!! i think that is one of the main things i like about this place, being able to bounce ideas of people you might come up with something you would have never thought off on your own
B_rad88 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 thank you eelco for the idea! i gave it a try! and i have to say this is the first time trying to make a "roll pan" for the rear! i think it turned out ok! ok, this is some extra scrap plastic form the toyota and a sheet of brass cut to size! here is the scrap plastic glued in place to act as a support! and here is the brass glued on, its not smooth or perfect, but it does look better than before!!! thank you eelco for the idea! your right it does look better! thank you!!!
B_rad88 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 ok, i have another question? show i try to fix the front bumper guard and put it on the model? i have completed the rear roll pan, and i didn't know if it would look right with the front guard! please let me konw what you guys think!!!!!! Thank you very much! Brandon
diymirage Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 that is exactly what thought it would look like nice job i think it looks much better, very street truck like as for the front gaurd, id say fix it first and take it from there, i mean, tape it on there and if it looks good run with it, if not, save it for later
