Mooneyzs Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Darren... This is looking really good and starting to take shape. Glad to hear that you didnt give your hobby up. Really have ebjoyed watchig this build cant wait to see what you have in store for paint and color.
Darren B Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 Will it be shiny? I was first planning on it as I wanted the traditional candy red burgundy flake but now looking at the interior it may need to look more rat rod and go flat, not sure yet, i know i have to make a decision cause its really painting time now..........

Darren B Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) got the mock up of the hydros and how they will be installed upside down under the bed and added some boiler plate to cover up the soddy looking texture of under the bed. Edited September 4, 2011 by Darren B
Dr. Cranky Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Beautiful work, keep it going. I can't wait for the painting of the body to begin.

Darren B Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 no new updates, kinda burnt on the project, and working 60-65 hours a week keeps me away from any building right now. hopefully by 2012 will be back into this build just not sure, it was a very large project that became a monster build and just getting some distance to clear my mind on the build.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Man, I've been enjoying this thread. A big part of me doesn't want you to ever finish this project. Just keep up the eye candy. Forever!
Darren B Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 Thanks Virgil, I have actually thought up two other "themed" projects as well, one called mans ruin and triple xxx, so if I can get out of all my work some day and finish this one there are two more that will be in the works with all of the bells and whistles....
Tom Setzer Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 That Truck is going to be down right Demonic. You have put a lot of time, Thought and Money into this build, and it shows. I am hooked I want to see more of this build! CHEERS! Tom
Darren B Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 Tom i do plan on finishing it but right now im working 60-70 hours a week and then when i do get a few minutes to work on it i find that im kinda burnt on this project. i will get back to it soon thou.... thanks for your comments.
Darren B Posted December 26, 2011 Author Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) Was by hobby lobby today and came across these, they are very large for the scale but planning on putting them somewhere on the build. Hopefully with the holidays here and some extra time off of work I hope to get some more done to this one. Edited December 26, 2011 by Darren B
Darren B Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 Found some really cool coffins and some more skulls for this build at our local bead store. I plan on using the coffins on the back of the truck for tail lights. They are on the large size but may cut them down.
rmvw guy Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 It's really starting to look great! The theme is getting interesting. I will be watching this one.
