Ok, heres my 07 crew cab Chevy Silverado.

Started off with extending my wheel base on a scx way out to 13.5" for this body...
I used some traxxas links up front wrapped in black heat shrink and then added an inch of delrin to the back links.

I hate how these have a short back window with those supports on the sides of the front of the bed...

So I cut it all out. I'll be adding a new rear window and bed cover.

Got it masked off.

Got it painted bright red. With spaz mirror chrome side trim and front middle bumper.

Last thing for today, I got the side windows all tinted with Pactra tint.

I'll prolly get to the rear window tomorrow, get it made and start on a bed cover too as well as all the body stickers.

slowngreen · 12-13-2009, 02:40 PM

Well, I got my rear window made and tinted.

Got my bed cover made outta .60 styrene.

Still gonna try to do a window seal/trim on the rear window. More to come!

calikrawler · 12-13-2009, 03:15 PM

are you doing the back window and bed cover to make it look more scale?

it looks good so far never thought about doing that

slowngreen · 12-13-2009, 03:31 PM

^^^ Yes, I dont like the plastic brace things that are on these bodies.

radio · 12-13-2009, 03:37 PM

That looks good so far! What did you use to make the back window?

Some lexan from another body. Then just tinted it with spray on tint.

TAT76 · 12-13-2009, 03:55 PM

Looks pretty good so far. Do you just glue to the inside after you painted?

canadianbacon · 12-13-2009, 04:26 PM

Looks good, I would have taken it one step further and made a drop bed for it.

slowngreen · 12-13-2009, 04:34 PM

Yeah I just glued it from the inside. I was gonna do a bed Canadianbacon, but with the way it sits on the chassis, the suspension would have had to come through it, so I decided against it for now.

I got all the stickers put on too...

dragon · 12-13-2009, 10:22 PM

slowngreen · 12-14-2009, 08:54 AM

70duncan · 12-14-2009, 09:12 AM

Looking good so far. I didn't know that body was 13.5"

. My truck is at 13" and I thought that was long.

slowngreen · 12-14-2009, 12:09 PM

Yeah its hella long....

Thats what she said....

slowngreen · 12-14-2009, 07:05 PM

Update....

Got my body mounts done and then used a old x trail to extend the chassis about 2 inches in the back...

Couple mounted pics for fun....

More to come!!!!

SAL45 · 12-14-2009, 07:10 PM

Looks Awesome

Did you cut the wheel openings more than stock to fit the tires?

chicostaxxs007 · 12-14-2009, 07:25 PM

lol thanks bro, Im sticking with Integy's for this though.

slowngreen · 12-16-2009, 07:25 PM

Update.....

I added a rear bumper I had from a previous project

I decided to make a front brush guard out of white delrin, if I decide to use it I will spray it with some black plastidip...

Opinions? Should I use the front bumper or not? I like how it turned out but think it might not be the right look.
