Wow, this thing is looking pretty sweet. The grille and tailgate are sweet. The whole rear cab fab is sweet. I can tell the rusty paint is going to turn out sweet. If you had the right wheels, that would be sweet. It's all just....sweet. |

Got a few more things done today.. Got the 3Racing winch all mounted up ( now just have to have the bumper made..) Also got the cowl induction hood made up too.., All thats really left is to scuff the whole thing down, mask off the windshield, and side vent windows, and I can finally spray it Yellow. |

Awesome build. Only 1 thing I wish was different and that is the body posts through the hood. Would love to have seen (or not seen) a hidden body mount system. Still sick though. |

| LOL- Thanks man..!! You know whats funny, I am NOW thinking the same thing about those dam body posts.. Back when i first started this truck, i planned on making it a semi "beater", so i didn't care too much about punching the holes in the hood for the body posts, BUT now that things have turned more for the scale side, i might just have to fix that before the paint finally flys... |

| Did you already do the Avalanche? I just watched the DVD I have of the Ultimate Adventure #4 when Rick finished the Tacoma and used it on that one, the Avalanche they did was mean as hell and got wrinkled pretty well too .

| I was going to do the Avalanche, I've got a hardbody that is already painted and stickered like the 1:1. It's just a little too small and the WB is off. Someone could stretch it and make it come to life tho!
