So do I it was either this one or this:- Saved for a Rainy Day would like to turn it into a class1

[Turn'Nburn]

Wow!!! This rig is going to be insane! Two of the best fabricators is just what it needs to make it happen. Top notch work fellas, can't wait to see the tube work.

I am also in love with those old haulers.

If your going to run the purple wheels you better make sure they have enough flake to really make them pop in the sun. Real men's trucks SPARKLE!

[fordsuperduty]

If the paint scheme what I'm imagining it'll turn out the all it will need is some of those old school gas station/ parts truck decals on the doors to really set it off. Dready amazing body work as always. Shon u couldn't have picked a better styrene man to b ur p.i.c. On this keep up the great work can't wait to see this one on axles with the tube work done!!!!

Please don't use a center front axle - unless it's a true square tubes Rockwell a centered front axle is going to SCREAM RC truck.
There is 101 ways to hide a servo and clearance is always an issue - if not here, then some where else on the truck.

Thanks Jon! Hopefully the tube work turns out as good as the cab.

I'm thinking candy purple with heavy flake, that's manish right?

Paint should be like the 1:1 for the most part, primer and patina.

That's the truth! Neil is certainly a master!

Don't worry........Blackwell's= centered diff and square tubes or AR60's= offset front, centered rear.

Thank You


Know where I am

[Dready]

It's Painted.
If you don't like it Shon you can have a go at it yourself.

Loads of Pictures for you.

[scorpiondave]

Holy cow. That is just incredible. I may have to hit you up someday myself. Awesome!

Thanks I have left slightly more of the Turquoise showing than the Real Pictures. It just needed something more than just Grey.

[R2j]

Holly Shiz! That turned out great! I'm glad you left more of the turquoise it really pops.

Shon I'm no where near a shelf queen fan, but it would be a sin to tear this body up. You need to have someone with a spotter stick nearby to make sure it never sees "turtle" time.

With a Full Cage Underneath I reckon it would be Ok.
I dont think its going to take a Hard Frontal Roof Impact without some carnage though

Also

I'd be inclined to put some small bracing flat tabs behind the Lower Front Wings other than that should be good.

I'm not a fan either, so it will get driven! But I am a fairly conservative driver too. Not a big fan of breaking shiz.

Since the cage will be chromoly, I'll be able to do a good bit of bracing and still be fairly lite weight.

Yep! 3/16" runs about $4 a foot. It will have a mix of chromoly, DOM and solid rod.
