thanks!!!

it's missing something though. i'm gonna work on what it needs. maybe someone will catch it.

[Benzbuildr]

Maybe some speakers in the kick panels, tweets on the dash, and subs behind the seats. also maybe an amp and a equalizer. Just a suggestion.

Oh, rear view mirror with an air freshener hanging on it.

That is one seriously awesome rig. Couldn't you have just run over the bees with the rig?

Those outside pics are stellar! Next time bring a can of bee killer, spray and run like hell!

Dang...and here I thought it was a Reign RC antenna that was missing!

I'm loving how this thing has turned out Ric. All the little scale details are bad ass!

I just sent barto an email regarding some propane tanks for my k.o.h. rig.

sweet!!

i should've taken pics of my hose, but if you are going to attach a hose to the tank it's real easy. all you need is a 3mm screw, collar, piece of wire and some heat shrink.


i'll get some pics in a few.

this is what i did..

started with the wire, screw, collar (it's standard so the screw is not 3m) and heat shrink.



insert screw and then chop the head off.



add a cupple drops of CA





grab the wire and heat to the heat shrink.



add a lilttle silver and yellow paint and call it done.






when you get the tank you will see that the screw "knob" is long enough for the collar.

Nice! Thanks for the pics and instruction!

Dude! Man I can't wait to get the interior decals, your interior is sick. Love the pedals, I thought about that when I was building the dash, guess great minds think alike! What's the CB made out of, 1/8" Delrin?

I'm going to the basement to do work!

Thanks shon!!

I made that one from some black plastic material I had here. It was actually 1/8 think so I had to glue two pieces together.

1/4 delrin would perfect though.

my bad I read that before.

I really like how you built this Hilux. I think it has to be the favorite to date.

[crunky]

Oh, and now I have to put a CB in the rock cop too ???? Shiit.
Anyways, those guages look killer there. Glad I ordered a set for myself, and some cool stickers from this other dude.
I was also scoping this thread and found a few more ideas for the cop build too.
You guys rock, and thanks for the inspiration.
