 I think I found the perfect use for a 14mm socket in the process  After 3 cans of Monster, almost 1 pack of smokes, here's where it sits. The LHS is closed because the owner is sick. So I have to wait for a styrene re-supply until hopefully tomorrow to get some of the bed done to keep going..   I should be able to finish the cab cage tonight..... | |

dont bob it, body should stay as is. If anything I would add some roll bars in the bed like the video you showed of the 1:1, but nothing else. its simple but powerful. Exceptional work. |

Thanks again guys! Quote:
I've got about 4 1'X8' sheets, but it all 1/8". I told myself when I went to make the circle I was going to try it only once and that was it.... big bronco, I have no clue as to the color yet. I am thinking more and more with going white, but I only have black, blue, red or chrome for powder coating color choices (I get it done for free). I'm starting the styrene work tonight, I should be able to get the bed and cab done.. Just waiting to get the R2 I picked up in the FS section to get going on the chassis | |

I say bob the bed. If someone would have went with an exo like THAT wouldn't you think they could do a little bodywork? I think it would look better.
