Great looking Frame, She Looks FireFly Class.
Body is gonna look great on it.

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Thanks bud!


I usually build off of steel chassis so this is different for me but I'm loving it so far!!

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

I love these shocks but the collars are dumb!!!!

I used some cut down super light Traxxas springs

Found a piece of aluminum I modified for panhard mount on chassis


I've been using SDI driveshafts for years and love their durability and compact size.

Also had to use risers in the rear to adjust for the geometry offered by the rear F10 portal

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Oh, shit...

Looks like the first use of this body in a custom crawler is going to be a dream build!

Damn, it's breathtaking - LOVE that set of rails - so perfectly chosen to go with the body (or is that the other way around?)

"thumbsup"

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Thanks mister "thumbsup"

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Very sleek chassis and accessories to boot. The use of VP steering arms should keep that rear end planted. Nice build sir.

I actually came back to drool over this build some more... ;-)

I wouldn't even try to be humble about this one - I'm thinkin' RC equivalent of a Ridler or GoodGuys award winner, or at least somethin' to be shown at SEMA.

Oh - I hope I'm not putting too much pressure on ya?

:lmao:

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Looks awesome as always!

Oh my. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Wow:shock: thats a real looker!! I have to agree with durok paint scheme must be bold!:mrgreen:

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Thanx doods!!!! Much appreciated!


Simple Steel brazed front bumper


Custom alum. lcg battery plate in the works, it sits up front nice and low between upper 3 link and front axle output!

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Body is painted internally with all Tamiya poly paints, and then externally with Tamiya Flat clear

I love the matte/flat appearance on the poly body!!!


Here is a couple pics of my ol Power Wagon with flat clear!

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Internal layers in with no flat clear

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

With some flat clear.... Much better

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Oh, I remember that MagPul Power Wagon... ;-)

Hence my anticipation for this one!

Looking great so far...

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Power wagon is beautiful! Hot Rod is too!

I'm a paint on the inside and flat clear on the outside fan myself. My last few rigs were all done that way as well.

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Thanks durok!!

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Thank you sir!!

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Wow! This is a rad build! Well done, sir.

Lou

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

mmmh..a bit a let down on the paint sceme:roll:looks like any other Power Wagon on the Gspeed FB site :roll:

SMASHING CARanyway "thumbsup"

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Thanks bud

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

That's ok I built that power wagon before the g-spot was ever popular "thumbsup"

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Hot rod turned out good, I like how you trimmed the body angled under the cab, and around the shocks up front.

And the power wagon is quite possibly one of my favorite rigs.

Yes it was a bit tricky to get body to sit nice and low, had to do lots of trimming to look appropriate.

The ol PW was one of my favorites as well "thumbsup"

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Working on some simple light stainless sliders to attach to frame and the poly slider

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

I'm loving this rat rod body.

Sliders are done, body mounted, tires on. Just need to go do some testing in sunny southern Utah one of these days....

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

It just gets better and better. Excellent choice on wheel/tire beadlock ring setup.

Great work! I had a feeling this body would make for a cool crawler body.

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Thanks fellas, been a fun quick little project I really enjoyed

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Sweet mother...came out great! Where and when can I purchase this ??:mrgreen:

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

WOW! Super clean build!"thumbsup"

Excellent fab work! Lovin' how the body looks mounted up!

Great job sir!!

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Maybe ...:mrgreen:

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Thank you, excited to get it on some sticky rock and do some tuning

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

That is one gorgeous chassis. I can see why you would want to build off of it. Who sells them? I have never heard of them before.

Love what you have done so far, it’s very cool.

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Thanks, chassis is built by local buddy, I'm not on FB but I believe he sells them on there, he own a company called BOC his name is Ryan Kendrick, you should be able to find him there.. "thumbsup"

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Man those colors turned out the part. Build is very aggressive. I enjoy all the DPD details.

Thanks ol buddy very kind!!
I'm loving that 4 door Wrangler your customizing looks pretty trick so far "thumbsup"

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Badass!

What wheelbase are you running? I've got some 11.4 links on the way for a f350 hardbody, but I might steal this body idea to keep the weight down.

Re: Custom flat rail C2 build, '35 hot rod truck
 

Yep, this turned out pretty awesome! "thumbsup"
