Stance is on the money running Droop all round so plenty of room for an Interior

The Axial Trepadors stick out just enough to mean business.

You're making those complex compound curves look easy.

Just to add that this Toyota is going to be the Classic Red with a White roof.

Thats what the new owner wants

Someday I will be able to build a truck without someone offering to buy it from me before I have even finished building it!!

I say static dummy one myself..


EDIT- looking at that pic, it looks like the cut out in the hood is off-center to the right a bit. trimming the left side would even it out a little.

Your all right because the Rc4wd Winch Obscures too much of the light.
Dummy it is then.

More Progress
The body is finished with all the little details added to the front
I opted to modify the Stock windscreen vent hole into an open scoop affair
Two reasons If you do the slotted vent holes wrong it'll look crap and secondly I thik this looks alot cooler!!
Second thing I didn't do for the same reason was the Hood Vents.

So first coat of Paint.
I Wet Flatted with 800 the White Primer then shot it with 3 coats of Toyota Red 3E5

White Next for the Grill and Roof.

Looks killer! Glad we went with the gloss paint instead of wheathered.
