Got all the tires shaved, did some work on the bed, got a temp cab mount and electronics setup, and got the rest of the wheel caps done. In my haste/lack of attention, I did manage to mount the bed crooked though, haha. I'll fix that the next time I get to work on it. I wanted to have it under its own power for the comp tomorrow, which it is running now. I might grab some video tomorrow. Also jacked up the rear suspension by 1/4" with some spacers, and remounted the bottom of the shock. -Derek |

I'm watching reruns of DBs and reading through this build. I'm just really glad you took on this project. Not only have you taken it on...you're doing a killer job. Very clean and well thought out. Kudos and accolades my friend! Keep it up. Greg |

With it running, I took it to the comp on Sunday in Taylor Falls. and I grabbed a couple small videos. Do note that yes, I do have an open diff on the front, even with 2.5 million weight "fluid" in there, it unloads fairly easy. I did this to help with turning, which for how long it is, it does surprisingly well. Also, it's difficult the drive one handed and film with a phone at the same time, haha. -Derek |

I suppose were going to have to make a sign for when we get to crawlapalooza. "Come see the dieselsellerz Rigs". Between this, my Brodozer and supersix, we got most of it covered ;) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Threw some paint down on the cab and bedsides. I still have to recast the front fenders and hood scoop from new resin before painting them. Still have bodywork/filler to do before another coat, then the gray. -Derek |

How do you like the Tamiya putty compared to squadron? 149 r/c worx team driver |

Never heard of squadron, but I like the Tamiya. It take a while to dry, and shrinks a LOT, but it's easy to use, and once dry, does sand ok. and so far, haven't had any issues with it on Lexan, but I do put down a layer of PS5 or PS12 first, and then prep off that. After a quick google search, I recognize the squadron packaging, and have seen it. I've just never used it before. -Derek |

Some sanding done, and laid another coat of PS5 black down. Gonna let those sit for a bit before I put more filler on, and work on bumpers. Picked up some more posterboard to do mockups before sheetmetal gets cut. -Derek |

The windows will go in after the bodywork is done, but before the final paint goes on.
