I really wanted to get it at least to this point this weekend. Now it's back to work and I'll get very little done for a while. Having thing's laid out well always helps a ton when building. After you've built as many rigs as I have I think you just get faster at it. | |

WOW Zach. The look is spot on and I love the matte look of the paint. That is one sweet looking Bronco. The dovetail looks really clean. |

I let the dove tail out a little yesterday. I think it looks quite a bit better. I also lengthened the rear links just a hair. It's now just a bit under 11". I'm hoping to get some work done on the interior today. I picked up a Proline body just for the interior. Sooner or later I'll do a full styrene interior but I'm having a hard time finding seats that work and I think with some detailing the Proline one will look pretty good. | |

Dang Zach, I decide to check the progress on this, and it's pretty much done....since when did you start building trucks in 5 days??? I absolutely LOVE the front end. The bumper/brush guard looks wicked. The paint is great too....you're right, it definately looks more realistic with the matte finish. Those tires are perfect scale to that body as well, very nice! Can't wait to see it with an interior. Nice job. Tim. |

You, Griz, and War Pig should do a "March of the sick bronco's" Photoshoot. That would definetly be great to see all 3 sick broncos together |

Thanks Tim! I really think it's come together well The interior right now will be lexan but with some flat black outside paint and some detailing I think it will look surprisingly good. Better than a hack job styrene interior which is about all I'm capable of. If they are there I'm in Mine might look a little out of scale compared to those though. We'll have to do some trick photography | |
