crazyjim Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Looking real good, my friend. Like the color combo and the wheels. Why is that big hole in the bed?
B_rad88 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 Looking real good, my friend. Like the color combo and the wheels. Why is that big hole in the bed? cool! thank you! and that big hole was there when i got this kit in a trade. i guess the guy before was going to C-notch the fram, i think, i am not sure. but i plan on making a bed cover to hide that hole. oh, and the paint combo! um, well honestly i didn't know what color to paint it, so i started out with it white, then i painted it yellow, and then orange! when i painted the orange, it messed up and it wrinkeld around the bottom of the body, i got tired of trying to fix it, so i just masked off and sprayed it black for the 2-tone! it was all a mistake, but the mistake worked out perfect in the end! lol! thank you for the compliment! i greatly appreciate it!
B_rad88 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 looks great man nice job on it Thank you, i greatly appreciate it!
Guest Mustang3.8 Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 The truck looks great,bro. I like it!
B_rad88 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Awesome job bro!!!!! thank you! you reconize it? it was the truck i got from you! lol!
S10XtremeSR Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 yup I kept watching this thread as it went along. just had some issues at home ( as always) lol and was not online a lot. The only thing I could add to make it just a bit better, is a bed cover. Hinge it like the hood but in reverse and I think it would set it apart from the crowd just a bit more. I am very happy that this model actually got someone to enjoy building it.
