Working on the spare tire mounts and a rear sway bar. The sway bar on it now is somewhat of a mockup still looking for a piece of spring steel to make it from. lights are also on the way.

Spare tire mounts done, body is still in mock, lights are in work, still trying to find the spring steel I have to finish the badly neede sway bar.

sniper · 01-01-2008, 05:56 PM

Lights

Well at least tail lights, Yes i do know my rears are on backwards . I am waiting on some wideners for the tires to clear the swaybar. When all lit up I will have two tails,and five white on the roof and two amber up front.

Looks Awesome. They are a ton of fun to drive in real life.. So smoooth!

Would be cool to see the Larry Roeseler/Terrible Paint Scheme on there.

sniper · 01-01-2008, 06:33 PM

That is what i'm going for but not much of a painter myself but i'm gonna give er a try to do that paint scheme with the shark on it.

Here is what i'm going for on the roof lights, just need to figure a way to get the led's in them and a cover.

DieselPhotos · 01-01-2008, 11:44 PM

Well, you can by a 20 dollar light kit on ebay, and drill out the spots for the lights, only problem is wires.. You can maybe make your own like post deal, to wire the wires through? (This is exactly why I just buy Ram lights.. Less Hassle!

)

sniper · 01-02-2008, 08:44 AM

I guess I did it the hard way then Drill press, patience, skill:-P , yeah right I think i just got lucky.

GeneralG · 01-02-2008, 08:52 AM

This truggy looks great! When did you say you were going to start mass producing these aluminum frames again? Nice work!

DieselPhotos · 01-02-2008, 08:52 AM

The only thing that can top that off is reservoir shocks (or reservoirs for the shocks you have now), a sick paint job, and just very, very minor details.

sniper · 01-02-2008, 09:50 AM

HMMM..... reservoir shocks , I'll start searching.

I started the teardown to finish the welds and paint
WOW

80 bucks for res shocks but i guess it will be worth it for the look. still not looking frward for the paint on the body but if I get it right it should look killer.

Cheftyler · 01-02-2008, 05:56 PM

Absolutley sick.

sniper · 01-08-2008, 06:32 PM

Time for paint and finishing touches.....

luis · 01-08-2008, 07:46 PM

I agree that Terrible Herbst paint scheme looks awesome on the full size and would look real good on this

sniper · 01-09-2008, 06:46 PM

I got one side panel done and started on the rear panels. I've been thinking on the paint job , I will try the paint job above but no promises bu ti think it will turn out.

DieselPhotos · 01-09-2008, 06:59 PM

Anything with teeth would look awesome.. IF you don't think you can go into that much detail, just do the teeth like the front of the old War planes/A-10s.

sniper · 01-10-2008, 07:20 PM

More tin work done.. I think it looks pretty good so far i need to get the hood back on the shrinker/stretcher to finish the front but the sides are done ,even got the side vents in.

DwaneO · 01-10-2008, 11:32 PM

WOW , I been watching this and you are doing an amazing job

Cant wait to see it done and some video of it running.

Fracture · 01-11-2008, 01:08 AM

man that is one awesome tube chassis!
the panels look pretty sweet on there also

Good luck with the paintjob;)
