Darwin would like you. Definitive proof that evolution works!

No harm in changing your mind, you are just fine tuning the look and style that you want and sometimes that is only figured out by trial and error. Nice work man.

Thanks! I like the large car look. I will have to think about the black fenders and roof. I do need to repaint the cab, I have some spot where the bondo shrunk on me.

Thanks! Lol!!!!!......Yeah, it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with this truck. This is my first mini-truck build, have so many ideas, but I think I got it locked down now. You got to love trial and error.

Not to much to update, just painted some detail pieces. I decided not to run after market steps or tanks, RC fund is running dry. I did order a custom visor, and a RUSSISLOUD headache rack and west coast bumper.

Here are my parts drying....garage is too cold....8" of snow here is Seattle!

Did some more work on the truck today. Painted the hitch plate, dash, steering wheel, seats, shocks and tank brackets. I also added more polished stainless on the top of the frame rails. I also used some strong double sticky tape and mounted the 2S 2500mah lipo underneath the bigger piece next to the cab.

That's looking really nice! I can see your reflection, while checking out the shine in that polished deck plate! Ha ha. Something tells me that motor lived a previous life in a rock crawler....probably a MOA.

Got my drop visor in the mail today from Stepside.

Snow is melting, so I got a chance to take some photos out side today.

Got my new bumper and head ache rack in the mail. Had the wrong address down on my ebay....but it found my house 3 weeks later.





Well, I thought the head ache rack came polished as it was pictured as on ebay...oh well...time to buy a polishing wheel.

The headache rack will look great on the back of your truck. Not bad. I think that rack will polish up pretty easily. The tool cuts look pretty smooth. I like the visor too.
