Got some pics of the few things ive done. Its RTR minus reworking the front body mount. Kind of getting lazier with the pictures, takes alot of effort   002 by colby419, on Flickr  004 by colby419, on Flickr  005 by colby419, on Flickr  006 by colby419, on Flickr Havent gotten my drop bed kit from noob yet, I still need absorbers, alot more styrene and bumper work, and about 5 years worth of letting the truck rot under a tree outside and then a few years worth of an ass beating.  |

Got my amazing drop bed from pardonmynoob. It came in 3 peices and I had to do a lot of cutting on the stock bed to get it all to come together right and it did just that. I'm loving the look of this rig but it doesn't look crappy enough for me... I took it to a comp today and did horrible... Time for some coil overs and links!! Here's some pics of the bed and what not. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Welp, Phase 2 has started. Im not sure as to how many phases their are going to be with this thing so... yeah  Ive ditched the bruiser chassis, and the leaf springs. Just got tired of how this thing didnt perform worth a crap. SO I decided to make a replica of my good buddy Salmonfacesalads 83 beast! Ive tried this before, but last time some family issues came up and I had to sell my truck  Heres some pictures of the real truck:    and onto my progress from the past few days:  061 by colby419, on Flickr  062 by colby419, on Flickr  063 by colby419, on Flickr  064 by colby419, on Flickr  065 by colby419, on Flickr I need to find a way to make the square headlights, but I cant find any lenses that are big enough. Anyone have any suggestions? I have a sweet bumper on the way from @tw!ll so stay tuned! |

Got a ton more work done. Got the headlight buckets done up and separate from the grill. Also got the removable hood finished and now I am just waiting on my chassis to get it into a roller. Pics later

Got the headlights doneish, got to make custom lenses with the help of N00B. I also need to make a new grill mount thats a bit sturdier. I picked up an awesome bumper from DH fab. Dave does some great work. Also picked up a honcho cage from TURTLE in hopes of making the rear cage identical to Richards. Heres some pics.  004 by colby419, on Flickr NOTE: You can see everything is bolted together. I wanted it to be easily fixed and taken apart when I beat the crap out of it. The hood latch may be changed, but it is functional   005 by colby419, on Flickr  007 by colby419, on Flickr  008 by colby419, on Flickr Heres the awesome DH fab bumper.  009 by colby419, on Flickr Thanks for looking! Comments much appreatiated! |
