Here are the new Axial lenses we're going to use for the round headlights...  Here is the mockup in Solidworks of the grill we're machining...  Last edited by fanke19; 05-14-2010 at 02:19 PM. |

Unfortunately no...I won't be able to make it this weekend. But the good news is that it looks like I will be getting a hall pass from management for the following weekend for the comp in Milwaukee...so I'll probably see you guys at that time. |

Ok, more pics to come tonight. We have the bumpers mounted front and rear, and the bed is installed in the body, and sprayed with black texture to simulate a spray-in bedliner. It looks like we won't have the grill machined for a while, but it will come, eventually. |

I started playing around with some styrene...making a rollbar and a toolbox...far from finished...oh yeah, and the bed is now sprayed with the black texture...  Here is the rear bumper and mounts...

Nice Chevy . Good to see there's another (somewhat) local scaler fan.

Here is another sneak peak of my new "driver" and his "rides" out back. Now I just have to find him a riding buddy so that they can head out to the motocross track...  |
