tribalgt03 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 front end came together nicely.. at least whats done..
tribalgt03 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 I posted it with the gmc wheels,so you can see the a arms..the wide tires cover it all up
tribalgt03 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 got the firewall painted just to see how it matches up..front is about done..just gonna putty it up and smooth it all out..but I have to wait for my mini dremel bits to do that..
gautreau Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 BTW where did you find a c10 model at?..I want one of those to build too..I just won a bid on ebay for a nissan hardbody,but since I slammed this truck im going a different route on the new nissan model when I finish this..plus I really like how you have your 4 link triangulated over the DS.. I found it at WalMart a few years ago.They are really hard to find now. When you find them now they're like almost $100.
