Been a good while since I've built a truck. Interest in this hobby ebbs and flows for me but when it flows it flows So since there are so many exciting parts knocking around nowadays I couldn't resist another dive into a hobby that I find very difficult to explain to anyone... Ill keep the intro brief and let the pics do the talking, and hopefully my vision for this one will become clear as we go along. Comments / Questions welcome |

Thanks for the props guys, Latest updates: modelled that ugly pressing that’s usually covered by the topper After re sculpting rc4wd’s attempt at an a-post the stock glass would no longer fit, so I made my own that is closer to the 1:1. Started blocking in the door slam surfaces and the basic dash volumes. I’m going to keep the enduro’s battery position so I can have a low floor in the cab and keep the weight low-ish and forward. The trade off is that it obliterates the footwell, not cool but whatever... And this is how it’s sitting now, shouldn’t be too long til’ the cab work is done and I can get started on making it look pretty. |

Thanks mate! I want it to sit as low as possible but the pitbulls came in surprisingly large, or the body surprisingly small... I wrongly assumed the shell would be Bruiser-ish sized when I ordered everything online |

Looks the part to me, kinda reminds of a Toy on 3" springs cut up to stuff 37s under it | |

4play is taking a little longer than expected Formers for front wings: Chucked a couple of TLTs in my Milwaukee and filed them down to look all skinny and scale Before and after: Last edited by Stone age; 10-26-2019 at 03:30 PM. |

Sweet! With all the detailed work you're doing, I wouldn't feel bad about the time in-between posts... Most of what I do is just researching parts and then ordering them, and procrastinating bolting them on! That bodywork is incredible, as is the work on turning down the shock bodies. |

Thanks Durok, yeah man builds take time, and I don’t think they’re ever actually “finished” there’s always something to figure out or improve, hope you’ll stick around to see this one take shape |
