Clay, rig is looking great so far. Question....... I just picked up 5 of the gearhead wheels that you are using. What size scale hardware did you order for the wheels?

Made a 3d cowl hood for this one, seemed like the right thing to do since its the more detailed rig.

It's at paint now so I'll try and get the rest of the interior and the little bit of tube work done before it gets back so I can call this one done.

All the metal fab is done with exception to some simple sliders.


On to console and dash. Few little scale items and finish the last little bit of wiring.

The tubework is amazing. I love that tire carrier. Cool project. I'm (we all) are looking forward to seeing it complete. Looks great so far.

Got the console done and interior painted.


Also remembered I needed to add the fuel filler to the side and found out that a Proline fuel cell fit perfectly between the rear fender wells. Got it plumbed in also.

Cowl for the hood is being painted now. The owners wife also bought him a 50" Rigid for his bday so now I'm waiting on the mini version to get here so I can get it mounted and get the cage painted. Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1379127497.822987.jpg Views: 389 Size: 100.2 KB
