crazyjim Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 I'm liking the stance, color, wheels, and the SHINY :) . The rear window is very nice. One question though - why the column and floor shifters?

Daniej01 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Posted June 3, 2012 Her are a few pics of the finished scratch built Optima battery, 4-link and coil over shocks. dif cover, 4-link bars was painted with alclad chrome. thanks for looking.
Daniej01 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Posted June 3, 2012 Sorry about some of the pics. Taken with camera phone.
Daniej01 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Posted June 4, 2012 Phone dump! Its about 99% done. The windshield was too small for the frame. So I was thinking how to fill the gap. I used a headphones wire casing and split it with a razor blade in one side. Then wrapped the windshield with it and glued in place. Did the same with the back glass. I used shrink tube and beeding wire to make the radiator hoses. Thanks to this forum for all the great ideas I got. Hope you all like it. Thanks for looking
wrecker388 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 WOW...Love the work and beautiful paint....thanks for the future build ideas...
Daniej01 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks! I'm just getting back into models cars after 24 years. This is the 4th one so far. I got about 3 more lined up to do. Thanks to this forum. Great inspiration it has given me.
Austin T Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 The orange really POPS and makes the truck stand out.
rmvw guy Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Beautiful! Nice paint work and I'll have to remember the great tip on the window glass. I also love the battery and rear shocks. That is a nice looking pickup!
HOLMES55 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I had the same problem with the windshield being to small, I built up the window frame on the cab with some epoxy to get it to fit better. I didnt like the exhaust tips that the kit had so I modified them with alum tubing on the end. I like your rear suspension setup.
