Look's very good, and the bullhead body look's right at home.
If this is your first build, can't wait to see the next. Keep us posted buddy. Big John

Re: Old Man 52's 6X6
Well i just made the cab flip so i have easy access to the electronics's I hope to make a rear wheel lift and operate it with a servo, and on the bed maybe something like an old jib boom. spare tires and tool box.

Re: Old Man 52's 6X6
So I've tried dot 4 and denatured alcohol and all the paint is still there. I think i'm going to try oven cleaner next, i have a small test piece to see what happens

Re: Old Man 52's 6X6
How about clear with clear poka-dots??? Naah, i'm just kidding.
But I think a dark green metallic would look the part. But it is your truck, so do as you like. Big John
