Thank's Sean!

Had to get creative as the ESC was sitting to high, its a Hobbywing 1060, when I inverted it it wound up fitting perfectly. also had to relocate the rear shocks so I added a set of 78mm GMade units. Got it in blue today, will have a silver band around the midsection.


Feel'n blue!

The grille looks great! The color reminds me of my 1968 C10 I just finished up:

So far I'm using a fairly stock Vaterra Ascender, Had to eliminate the rear shock supports and relocate all electronics. Will post pics tomorrow of the chassis. Wish I had your scratch build skills, your suspension and frame work is killer!

Got some silver on it, wet sand and clear coat. Clear really made the blue pop!


Before clear coat....

With clear.....


Couple shots of the chassis, been a little tough finding room, need to build a box for the electronics.

Thanks pastimesteve, I Just set it on the chassis to see how it fits, lots of detail work to go, moldings paint the glass gaskets, glass, interior...... lots! Break time.

Thanks guys!
Tackled the moldings, and attached the grill. Learned a few more things with this build, and gained more tricks from the likes of Silverado1 as well! On to bumpers, trim, glass etc.

Thanks Sean! .....started the front bumper tonight, was going to try metal but looked in the mirror and said to myself, "you suck at metal", besides who do you thing you are SEAN! So styrene it will have to be. Rear will be a step bumper with diamond plate covering. At least an alloy!
