|  Canadian Trailfinder
Well for my 30th bday this year the wife bought me a trailfinder kit.. Being as its not my birthday til the 30th of this month she wont let me have it... Damn her!! lol Anyhow, here is the start of my build..     I still have some touches to the body with a paintbrush and black paint.. Also have a clear windshield on the way, working on getting an interior and driver.. Scale custom built canopy painted to match, also trying to get a scale tube front bumper, I have a trailer hitch ready for it. Im running a Novak Crawler brushed setup, Airtronics 2.4ghz radio using the third switch for the 2 speed trans along with some traxxas waterproof servo's. Eventually Ill also be adding full working lights to the truck! |

Well got the flares mounted on the body.. Not too happy with the glue I used as it seems to have taken a bit of the paint off.. Gonna need to do some body touch ups.. But oh well..   |

That looks really nice. The flares and the stripe on the back of the bed really set it off. The tailights are really nice. Did you paint the stock ones or are they from somewhere else?

If she bought that for you for your birthday, she's a keeper. |
