Very nice looking, its coming along great. Even though your not planning on it yet I also agree that black chrome or even satin black rims would really set this rig off add in a nice color matched pin stripping on the chassis and wow.

Finally a bit more progress, got some wiring done on the roof lights and then test of all lights.. result only 1 not working (nearside rear indicator)





As for the wheels I dont think the shiny chrome are working with the blue and black but think if I paint them satin black it will be too much black.... help any ideas I love the white rc4wd wheels but pretty sure that wont work with black n blue either.

Rich it is looking great.. With the wheels a black wheel with a chrome center cap or using Dupla Colors Black Chrome with give you that black look with ok being solid black..

Finally got the cab all sorted, speaker box, MFC, and control box all housed in the sleeper, vibration unit mounted above the servos and the interior fitted. So truck is almost complete just waiting on the mail to get me my fenders delivered, oh and got a pair of Wedico CB aerials and the swan mounted.

This time I have managed to get it outside for some half decent photographs.








I like this shot too..

Ferric chloride used by electronics enthusiasts to etch copper circuit boards also dechromes plastic parts and does it in minutes...

Not done much on this lately, but finally got the 2nd trailer painted and the hitch for dolly sorted and was able to connect them all for first time earlier, a little drive around the back yard as a test. Will give it a proper test run at weekend at our boat clubs mini fun day.







Still loads of things to do but nice to have it as a runner now.
