I hope to see this in person in the next couple of months.

Thanks James, hope you can make it over for an event or 2

Thanks.. Ya, brazing is easy just a little slow for me. I may look into that Lincoln mig over at Home Depot for $260 for my next build

Thanks a bunch, I have been tossing around the idea of a snow camo patern.

Got a few more things done. Added another rail to the rock sliders and beefed up the stinger and added to the fender gaurds. Next project is the roof rack and that should be it for solid rod

ageekwithabaja · 02-11-2010, 10:09 PM

new bars look sweet

snow camo eh ? sounds cool

eemmaaxxxx · 02-12-2010, 01:11 AM

Like the additions you just made. Those rock sliders look super beefy! Finished product should be ace.

Thanks.. Snow camo is what I am thinking as of right now. Not a good painter so I am a little on edge

Thanks.. The sliders should hold up just fine and protect the body non the less

70duncan · 02-12-2010, 08:45 PM

I definitely like the added supports on the front stinger, but those extra bars for the hood and fender look a little different. Not bad, just different.

This rig is just sweet. Snow camo sure sounds cool

big bronco · 02-12-2010, 09:20 PM

Dude.... Sweeetttt!

racerx · 02-13-2010, 11:42 AM

If you want to shoot the white I can help you out with the camo part Sparky. Hit me up Bro!

Oh and the rig looks sick! Might be getting back into the scale side here soon.;)

Bobsclassic · 02-13-2010, 09:24 PM

Awsome job so far

Painting is easy just mask it off right and your golden

Its so hard to do tube work keeping in mind that the body has to go on an off. I wasn't to sure about the fender guards either, but I think its starting to grow on me

Thats just it, the masking parts, I guess I just dont have the patience

racerx · 02-13-2010, 11:29 PM

I KNOW you can handle the white!

I have done all kinds of camo on stuff and I got a new airbrush I need to break in. My brother always built military models and I would shoot the paint for him. Amazing how small of patterns you can spray with a good brush.

You just bring the rig, the colors you want and a few cold ones and I will hook you up!

That sounds like an offer you can't refuse!!!

I hate the masking part too. I'm looking forawrd to having a scaler where I can paint the outside of the shell.

I think I may give the liquid mask a try on this. Everyone tells me it makes it soo much easier

Never tried Liquid mask myself either! As you said, everyone who has used it says it's good. You could do a liquid mask review

Sparky J · 02-16-2010, 08:12 PM

Got some time to start on the roof rack. I just have to finish building the 4 corner mounts.

Rogue · 02-16-2010, 10:14 PM

Nice job on that roof rack! I really like the way it looks.

Awesome clean job on the roof rack! Are you going to run a light bar under your light bar protector?
