| 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 |

Did you decide to remove the mud flaps or are your photo's out of sequence, I liked them.
