Platerpants Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 As a tribute to my first truck (rolled it sunday) Im building this as the 2wd sporty version of my sport 4x4. I called my rust bucket chuggin chuck, the license plate will say either FSTCHCK or CHUCK2. Here is the direct tribute i built this summer. My Heartbreak...The kit will be the revell Lightning. Orange lightning logo on bed instead of orange Sport 4x4 logo
DriftingRookie Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I hope your okay. on the joking side it's just a small dent, some pulling and Bondo will make it right again maybe some styrene also but I hope your okay
cobraman Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Wow, how did that happen ? Hope nobody was hurt.
mikemodeler Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 That should buff right out! Seriously, hope no one was hurt and it can be replaced !
Platerpants Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 We are all just sore... I had 2 friends with me on a back road i knew the road and was going 20 under, we went around a turn and instead of turning went straight into a ditch flipping face first onto the roof and sliding down a hill. Hope to get some work done on this before i have to go to work today..
kilrathy10 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Wow, that's amazing....Poor old truck.....Makes me remember that old movie quote....."My dad's got an AWESOME set of tools....I can fix it"... Showing my age a bit, but some of y'all know which one I'm talking about.....Glad everyone's ok, though....Oh, and the model looks pretty cool, too....You did good....It seems like every time I buy a new vehicle, I get something that isn't produced by a model company....

Custom Hearse Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Those were some 'Good Times' J.T. Glad you're okay Jake! Sounds like a scary ride.
Platerpants Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Yes a very scary ride... The start of my lightning just the block painted and assembled.
Platerpants Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 chassis is geting close to done. Red gas tank like on my real one and the replica. This is what i want to put on the bedside in place of sport 4x4 logo
slusher Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Sorry about your truck jake.. Nice start on the project...
Platerpants Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks. Its all good going to florida in june to look at new trucks... But i had brand new mickey thompson stz tires on it 700$, brand new rear shackles, a k&n oil filter was goin on it the next day after work, it got a brand new gas tank when i bought it, a 800$(free with truck) taneau cover destroyed, and brand new u-joint on the driveshaft... So i am definetly getting another one of these trucks to get my worth outta those tires atleast. Oh and raptor style grill lights were put in a week earlier Edited January 13, 2014 by Platerpants
Platerpants Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 Body painted and interior started. Blurry picture though. Gotta get some flat black to do the grill and other details mine got all dried up...
Platerpants Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 The plate thatll go on it. Fast Chuck
Platerpants Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 Hoping to get some work done on fast chuck today, its already been close to 2 weeks since i lost the real deal "chuggin chuck" oh well. Time to get some model work done.
Platerpants Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 Todays goal put the K&N oil filter that my truck woulda got (its sitting on a shelf in the garage....) and get some trim painted. Gotta get to hobby town first my black paint got dried up somehow....
