|  Sweet C-10(finished with new pics)
ok first off i have been a member of this site for a while and long before i wrote my first post i read several threads about some of the most kick *** rig iv ever heard of. Ever since i saw Jason In Augusta 's scale chassis with tlt axles in person i knew i had to try building one of these. they are amazingly cool. So finally after a long while its time for me to try my hand at constructing one of these bad boys. This is the build...... ProjeKt Sweet C-10 Truggy style chassis using .5 in Angle steel and 1/4 brakline TLT axles with RPM revolvers narrowed Swamp Dawgs 55 turn integy TQ 3 Channel Winch beautiful proline C-10 shell Chevy's Rock       wheels and tires are for mock up. I have almost all the tubes bend and just need to piece them together with tape and then bust out the torch! Tell me what yall think and any suggestions. Again this is a build thread and more is on its way i promise Last edited by looneybin; 12-06-2006 at 08:44 PM. Reason: update |

 Looneybin, i think it would look sick with a cab on the back, like exesivefire's BB-51. looks like you have yourself a nice start  | |

Well i brazed or silver soldered my first tubes today.:-P it took a little practice but it came out alright. the only trouble im having is with holding the tubes in place.  its tricky but the technique will come with time.     this thing is gonna be so fun to build! im already having a blast and have plans for a full tuber next. |

i haven't desided on a paint job yet. p art of me wants to just stick with a classic black look with the stock decals but the other part of me wants to go with a gunmetal color with black shadowed lime green flames. i don't know maybe ill paint it black and buy another to paint crazy on and use it as a shelf shell?

Great start man! I use vicegrips to hold joints sometimes. Make sure you dont braze them into the joint though. The jobbers with reaally wide clamping surface work best.
