Ok back at this one again too.. Got the sleeper back from Jon and the Pete wheels from Steve and now I can Finish mocking up so i can get the frame painted. I have just a little adjusting to do on the front of the truck so i can start hanging parts on it. Need to have this one done by the middle of June for a truck show where the real one will be for some pictures..

OK I know post long over due but since I don't believe in making a post for every screw I put in a truck here is a fast forward..













Little body work on the tanks and the frame and Ill shoot all the Blue Thur and Friday night and put it all together Sat. I got a bag of parts from PMD today and got Stylin making me some light panels so I am getting to the end of this one soon I hope..

The attention to detail of this build really sets it off.
I particularly like the tanks, they are going to come off great when you've painted them.

Thanks Buddy..


Well I got the truck painted and mostly put together still waiting on some parts from Jon and I have some detail painting to do and mud flaps and MFU and extra lights but getting close so here are the picks.











Stainless window visors and cb whips


Proper drive shafts and carrier.




Dreamweavers scale shocks.


Here is a close up of RC4WD new scale bolt headed screws I used them on all visible screws they are great and I am going to use them on all builds from now on and I even replaced the screws on my trucks with black frames that are on the shelf they just add so much to the truck..


Thanks for looking guys.
