Sounds like a nice build. Yes you should get a photobucket. Then just use the IMG URL from each photo.

thanks man im photobucketing pics now should get um up soon

i think im going to make this one like my current truck so i gotta start cutting up the cab

also i need to find the 96 front clip because i dont want to buy a whole kit for just the fenders

this build

scratch built d 60

thinking about the semi wheels went with the millitary ones

i shaved off the body moulding and started making the motor look like a diesel but im not liking it so im going to re do the motor

and another project i have

old 70s looking pete with a funnycar that will sit on the back

and thats an elcamino in the background i got bored with it and gave up like 3 hrs away from done

I don't know what kind of camera you have but try getting some more lighting. It should help the camera focus better so that the pictures are clearer. Also, try setting the piece down instead of holding it so that it stays steady. The f350 looks great though. Are you going to use a dually bed? I think that would look really good.

idk for sure yet heres a pic of my 1:1 truck i drive daily (forgot to add it in to the other pics)

but its a work in progress too so

but it would be sweet to have a scale model and now im thinking going dully with it due to having 2 other vehicles right now

well see a lot of the builds i do sorta wander i had a nova that was built stock then prostreet then it went rally racer all before any were finished so this one i hope to follow the real idea

if i can find some sick 19.5s with a meaty tread ill add it dully or some super single 19.5s

[88beast]

ok on the real life truck how i would do it is

19.5 chevy box truck rims (think fritolays truck) they were 19.5s

and i want to recenter the fronts to make make them look like a dump truck running super single fronts

[stewart]

Under the members tab at the top, look up RyanSilva. That is his forum name. Should be able to contact him through that.
