gautreau Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 This is going to be my scale representation of the truck I would build if I had an unlimited bankroll. I've already got the doors cut open. Here is a mock-up of how it will possibli look. Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy
gautreau Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 The build process begins.This is the start onf my full kustom frame.To get the 1:1 C10's to lay out you have to "Z" the front frame section which you can see I've done here. Thanx For lookin'. Jeremy
tooltas Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 looks great u going to use those wheels or u got some bigger of a donk car i have same truck that i slamed an its on scale 24s of a dub city car.
gautreau Posted June 3, 2011 Author Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Yeah I'm sticking with these wheels.They are the closest I could find to a Centerline Smoothie.Hopefully my engine and rear diff center section show up soon so I can start dialing in the air ride set up. Edited June 3, 2011 by gautreau
gautreau Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 Here is a shot of most of the aftermarket parts I'm going to be using on this build.The only parts not pictured are the airbags and rear diff center sections I'm waiting on to arrive. Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy
Dirty Gringo Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I look forward to seeing more of the progress on this truck. I drive a bagged body dropped truck daily and just love these builds
Still2High Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 This is gonna be a sick build! I can not wait to see you put in more work on this!!
gautreau Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 Thanx fellas,I appreciate that.A whole new frame is in the works right now so look for pictures hopefully by the weekend.
crazyjim Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Very interesting. Rick over at Scale Dreams must love you for that order. Who did you order the rear end from? I've been looking for a couple but can't find any.
gautreau Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Very interesting. Rick over at Scale Dreams must love you for that order. Who did you order the rear end from? I've been looking for a couple but can't find any. Thanx I appreciate that.I'm not sure I'd say that.The rear centre section is actually from the AMT Rides edition 66 Novathat I sent to a friend and had it cast.I believe he is on here as slammdsonoma. Got my frame built. Here's the frame under the truck. Going to start on the 502 today so I can build the motor mounts. Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy Edited June 17, 2011 by gautreau
Still2High Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Nice man! You should check out the Community Build I just posted! Enter your truck!
gautreau Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 Nice man! You should check out the Community Build I just posted! Enter your truck! Thanx I appreciate that.I might enter.But I'm pretty sure it won't be done by september.
gautreau Posted June 25, 2011 Author Posted June 25, 2011 Sprayed a quick test hood to lay out my paint idea.The base is metal-speck silver,the skullz are gel pen and the top is metal cast red. Here is a shot of the 502.It is sprayed with the same base and top coat as the test hood. Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy
seeker589 Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I love slammed trucks! This one is looking great - I can see why this would be your dream truck! I'm gonna have to keep my eye on this section of the board!
gautreau Posted August 30, 2011 Author Posted August 30, 2011 Sorry I've been behind on posting fellas.I moved almost a month ago now and been slowly getting my building room slowly in order.I got a new frame built for this build.For anyone keeping count thas # 3. Next I'm building the components for the 6 link rear suspension.
tooltas Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 looks good why a 6 link? u could get by 4 link set up
gautreau Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 looks good why a 6 link? u could get by 4 link set up Very true.But I like the look of a cantilever set-up.
Dr. Cranky Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Love the way this one is turning out. Great body work and details. Keep it going.
gautreau Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 Love the way this one is turning out. Great body work and details. Keep it going. Thanx I appreciate that alot.
