Great looking bumpers,
an old military type trailer would look good behind your truck.

I'm not sure, I need to acquire a few things and decide on a color.

Oh, colours, I'd try a Matte Dark Reddish Brown or Matte gunmetal Grey/Black. I'm loving this build. Are inner wheel guards going to be a happening thing?

Note to 'The DC'. Please leave a link to your build thread when you start (I take it you're going to make one).

I was leaning towards a matte grayish blue, kinda give it a faded light blue color.

The inner wheel wells aren't the right size but I like to put them in all my trucks for the fact that it helps keep out a lot of dirt. It also keeps you from seeing through the truck.

I wish I had something for you guys, but Christmas is coming up and I gotta watch my pennies for a little while. I did get some lights in the mail today, only a 3 light set up but they are gonna be BRIGHT!

For those of you that were wondering what magnets I was using these are them....got them at Home Depot.





I managed to squirt some paint. Painted the silver and black on the inside for the metal look when the paint scratches off.











That's all I got. I'm terrified of the rest of the paint, not sure if it's gonna turn out.

Wow!

Painting the exterior shouldn't be too scary since it's easy enough to recoat it. It's definitely coming together nicely though . A faded Jack Daniels logo on each door would look sweet! Kinda like an old timey 'shine runner.

I've got a question for you guys. I have a 4 channel receiver and I want to run a winch and lights and a two speed trans.

Can I run the lights and the winch off of the same channel?

If it were me, I'd just do a simple Y-harness tie-in and have the lights on whenever your receiver is getting power. (all receivers I've ever seen have had the pos. on a common bus down the middle and all negs. on a common bus closest to the case edge, so it shouldn't matter which channel you piggy-back)

If you have a controller and want to turn them on and off, then no, you've got too many channels.

But to just draw power off from any channel, you should be okay with a piggy-back. IME.

Perfect. I'm just drawing power for the lights no controller Thanks.

[TrilloThrillo110]

Will there be a rust layer now of just a top coat?

[Super]

This is not a very good picture but this is what I'm going for, sort of.

[TrilloThrillo110]

By the looks of that, if you pull it off nicely, your rig'll look AWESOME,

Go to the SCX10 picture archive, page 93 half way down there is a yellow Honcho with the type of exterior rust effect your looking for. And its real rust !
