Awesome work, noob! it shows that you have done this more than once - the details are outstanding! =) And love the weathered spare! if this wasnt a scale site, I would swear that tire just came out from under a real truck. |

Really nice work, I dont know even where to begin with styrene work. What do you use for glue? CA? I'd like to do a crew cab pick up sometime, I just dont know if I can do the styrene work good enough. |

I couldn't find any shocks that were short or thin enough so I built my own. They are made from 1/4" and 3/16" brake line and some 1/8" rod. Shock boots are from a Bruiser. I ran out of Sophisticated Finishes rust paint so I had to weather them old school with paint. I also threw some details on the axles. Breather, fill and drain plugs. | |||||
