Who would have ever thought a sweatshirt would make sick fenders?!?! That looks unbeleavable! Now I need to step my build up that much further.......THANKS! I'm gonna lose my house over this build off. If this goes as well as it has I might be voting for you instead. On a tech note though is there much flex to the resin because of the shirt or is it basically as stiff as the plastic?

Wow, what a great start! I was going to do that same rig, looks like I need to find something else. Perhaps I will tackle this one.. Last edited by Trikster; 10-22-2007 at 11:27 PM. |

EDIT: Nevermind, took a better look at the two trucks and they are in fact different.

i see very little pitting in the resin, nice job man. go find your self some high build primer before paint, that stuff is a miracle in a spray can. |

DH, you can get it any where that sells paint, Most of its normally brown(I think). It will say "high build" on the can. Thats what I know to the best of my knowledge. That rig is so awesome! It looks really nice, I can't wait to see it finished. |

| i cant remember the brand but most autoparts stores and walmart(auto section, not paint) even, usually carry it, its in a spray can and its called "high build" primer, will save you a TOOOOON of smoothing/bondo work. it its sands off like butter, so easy. i belive it was white. i wanna say dupli color, but im sure im probly wrong. |
