Default My next Honcho

Well I sold my first honcho to buy a 4x4 slash. But now I have traded some parts for another honcho roller when we got it the rear axle was messed up and missing a few parts but here is what she looks like now. I still need to do some painting. It is now a Chevy Silverado that has been bobtailed. So what do u guys think of her so far?



And this is the work I have done to her and lonely creeper is the mechanic is the one who got it to a complete roller for me












I have now striped her and gave her some fresh skin...







well got more to do but what do ya think... Is she worthy

Nice job, I'd extend the rear end a bit. Too stubby for my taste

ummm...

the chain hanging off the front looks silly IMO

it's possible I don't get the imagery this is attempting to be portray

if it just has to be on there...
at least find some scale sized chain W properly sized links.

that stuff looks like dog run chain.

I would never use chain on my 1:1...
when it breaks... it can cause serious carnage or death

WOW! dog run chain huh? I thought it looked like over sized logging chain, but that's cool. Like I said this is just the beginning and using what I have at the moment And the shortness on the rear is y they call it bob tailed

sorry... I didn't mean to offend...
was just my opinion regarding my personal observation

Thing is... if you post on public forum...
then you shouldn't come to expect that every shared opinion
will be sugar coated in your favor or in agreement.

does my opinion matter !? not really

it's all in what you like and want on yer junk...

as long as yer happy with it...
it's all that matters.

cheers

Got my new Pro-line bumpers today don't think iam going to use the rear one even though its a nice bumper just to wide for my set-up.







Think I might trim a 45 degree piece off of the bottom corners to stop the little bit of tire rub, other than that she fits rather nicely

Well I decided to install the rear bumper, I think it will work just fine and doesn't look to bad with my set-up
