My first plan is to cut off the X-Trails shock mounts . The SCX-10 shocks are abit long in sprung form . So I will be using the SCX-10 shock hoops left over from the Blazer build . This will raise the shocks about 1/4" lowering the frame that much .This will be done front and rear .     The wheels are the 26mm 0 offset stock car wheels. After seeing them I was like this is not going to work . So I cut the interbead off and then added it back to the front side . I think they look much better now .       more to come |

 Well I ended up going with the Proline 1980 CHEVY Pick-up long bed #3248-00    It will get my rust paint job on the inside. Maybe some junkyard panels ,maybe a few new panels and I'm think a primered bed . We will see , I have been lazy on getting started on the paint . :-P | ||

I did some horse trading today . I got some Proline bumpers and a 3Racing winch on the way . I also started on the paint(no pics till it is done) . I did do my rust paint job on the inside . Then I layed down some silver on the outside first to look like metal . It has a black hood ,green right front fender , blue and white bed with primer on the tailgate .

What are the lengths of your top links? I stretched my wheelbase with only the bottom links so far and the pinion angle is pretty bad, I plan on 4-linking it front and rear.

I started off doing my rust coat on the inside .  Then I painted the outside Silver (to look like raw metal).  Next I painted to bed blue .  Next I painted the hood Black (to look like a new panel).  Then I moved to the right front fender . I painted it a dark green .  Then the cab and both doors got a coat of red .  Then the left front fender got a shot coat of primer .  Some new window rubber . :-P   Next the bed got a white strip .  Oh and some bondo work on the bed .   There was a little rust around the other tail light . Had to shoot some prime on it for now.  one more pic  |
