That is freaking sweet. Good job on the tube work, fits the body perfectly

Woah, awesome work. That tube frame looks bad @ss. What body is that?

read in the first post about 3 lines down. "rockwerks Ivan Stewart Prerunner Toyota Body".

Twisted - That is very nice. I am a big fan of Ivan's racing rigs, and that is coming out soooooooo sweet. Great job.

Are you going to keep the tube color blue though?

-Sam

the tubes blue for now.. just waiting on getting 220 in my garage so i can powder coat it.... i might shoot it with red sooner or later... just glad to see it almost done!!!

sweet "thumbsup" great ode to a legend ;-)

very very nice, love the colour too, just one thing, dont you need indy front for an ivan rep?

that cage is awesome!! how does it handle?

That looks awesome!! I can't wait to see it in action!"thumbsup"

:shock:Sweet tube work there Twisted, that thing come out really nice...Just remember to hook up your drivelines before you take it out"thumbsup"..

man that is sweet, nice tube work, gonna get video of it?

Yea,WOW:shock: Great work on the tube work. Can't wait to see the paint!

That is awsome,great tube work. Are you going to get off-road lights like the real truck?"thumbsup"

looks very good the tube work is impressive but it needs more scale wheels and tires, maybe 1.9"s and shouldn't it be 2WD?

wow thats amazing! im blow away great job.!"thumbsup"

thanks guys, i still need to mount the front shocks, wire up the esc, The body didnt turn out quite how i wanted it to but after i add the slew of stickers that has to go on it, it should all blend... i also need to streatch the front driveshaft.

I have been lookin at the rims and tires off of the tamiya s-10 prerunner or f350.. or i also have a full set of old crome rims from the traxxas hawk... but i dont have to connect em because they are soo thick! i may figure something out..

this is going to be used for the local rock races.. maybe a comp or 2... we'll see.

technically it should be 2wd but wheres the fun in that?

Damn, that looks sweet

heres a couple more progress pics... IMO the paint turned out.. ok... REALLY 80's.. but i guess thats the whole idea... im still waiting on some stickers from Towerhobbies to complete the look and trying to figure if i wanna mess with lights or not.
