|  first try at a scaler put you up to date quick like. comp crawling is what i do, and had no desire to scale until my buddy Devlin wouldn't shut up about it and kinda told me i should since i like doing 1:1 build for a living so I gave it a shot. i'm not to much worried about rules as this will be just a beater, but may comp on local basis where i'm sure they wont mind my company. pictures may be out of sequence but i'll do my best. keep in mind this is a first attempt. I wish i took pics of the body before i started but this is what i did. took 7/8" section out of the middle and doved the nose from 0 down to 1/2" and sectioned it all back together, here is the bumper at stock width.  here is the first mock up with 1.9's on it    and here it is with a start of a theme and on mock up 2.2's     can you guess the theme yet, here it is with the art work done bed done, I hope you like it, and let me know what you think        It should be done in a week or so and I'll get some on the rocks and mud and rain for ya. thanks Rocky Last edited by Rokpile; 11-03-2009 at 11:15 PM. |

My latest idea today is instead of an mp3 player I was thinking of an old hand held police scanner dismantled and placed in there somewhere with the speaker behind the spare tire. So it would sound like real police car with the scanner going off like a squad car.  THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT COMMENTS, I'll POST MORE WHEN I DO MORE. Rocky | ||||

| my lhs owner is at the big hobby expo somewhere and found the perfect lights for the truck, so when they get here I will get em installed and post up some action shots. I'm thinking of leaf springs on the rear and some jp custom links on the front, they resemble a ford twin eye beam if you stare at em long enough. What would be a good set of leaf springs since I have no idea on what works and this is my lazy man research center |
