eviltwincustoms Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Joe this looks amazing... curious to know what paint did you use on the tanks?
semijoe Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 Joe this looks amazing... curious to know what paint did you use on the tanks? tamiya silver leaf
eviltwincustoms Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 tamiya silver leaf Thanks Joe, I actually have a brand new can of the Tamiya silver leaf and may use it on my Chassis... Those tanks are shiney... stupid question did you then clear the tanks or is that just the shine from the Rattle Can?

semijoe Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 a couple of small update made the saftey chain hanger and rear light housings
semijoe Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 ive install rear lights and buckets
eviltwincustoms Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Joe are you going to use the F350 or Semi sound/light box for controlling your lights and sounds for the truck? I ask because I see you are wiring it up, and that would be cool because you would hear the blinkers flash and have your engine sound.

eviltwincustoms Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 it will have some king of mfu you in it . got to have the sounds Sweet.... that box is pretty big, what are your plans for hiding that bulky thing?
semijoe Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Sweet.... that box is pretty big, what are your plans for hiding that bulky thing? most likely in the tank
semijoe Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 under the tank is a sub frame. mounted to this will be the tank but also the floor to the electrinics here you will see the 1/35 scale of the subframe you can also see i had to make them longer and move a couple of things arround.due to making an r/c
W-409 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Truly amazing, looks like real car. Can't wait to see more work of it. Those tires and wheels are nice, and that tank somehow looks just right. Nothing wrong with it, very nice.
