Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Thank you pumptech.:D I was thinking about maybe cutting the doors and possibly detailing the interior to the extreme. After all if i'm gonna do it, might as well go all the way.:eek::p;)

Actually, forget that, check these guys out!!!!!

They custom make mini guitars, drums and pretty much any instrument. They could make you all the actual KISS instruments and in 1:14.5 scale too! How's that stage trailer gonna look now?

SWAGGER, you da' man.:eek: I would love to have Gene's ax bass and Paul's mirror guitar, man you've got me stoked.:D:eek: If I can pull this off, this will definitely be one of a kind.

Thanx buddy, Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Hahaha, yeah you won't be saying that when you tot up the final cost on this truck. Maybe I am just a bad influence!:D

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Bad influence, I don't think so. I did check out the website, and they do make an ax bass.:D And total cost, I figured up what I have in my "SLUMLORD" so far, and I just about fell out of my seat.:eek::eek: I don't think i'll have as much in this...at least I hope not, 'cause the misses might make me sleep outside with our kitty's. LOL!!!:D

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Hy John,

as I read your announcement for the "Kiss Theme Truck" I was really very interested how you will work it out.

Now I have to say: I like wich I see here - great work on the dashboard, the steering wheel and on the wipers - I like the way you are going on.
