I remember seeing this build when you started to do the cap...turned out beautiful...and the styrene work!
The tube work looks great as well...I especially like the way you did the rear bumper!

Oops



It was bugging me, I have never run this rig it just stares at me every day.
And every time i look at it i think why oh why didn't i do the arches and the tailgate.

So here goes nothing, It will either turn out great or end up a mess.

And the rear roof section was first on the cutting block.

Couple more shots
I've nearly got the front arch sorted and have also added the lower panel down the length of the body to change the profile sligthly.
I figured that it was easy to add a thin sheet of styrene than try and bodge it with filler.




Looking Good

How could someone not like your work? I promise that if I don't like it I'll bite my lip, or start rumors about a cock fighting den in your back yard .

Trucks lookin' SWEET Neil..!! Those wheelwell arches are really making this truck stand out..! That "simple" change is exactly what this truck needed to look right !! Excellent job my friend, AWESOME build..!!

Check out the truck I just got done "re-building"..!!! This is why I didn't have a chance to do anything with "Clampy" this weekend...
