It looks alright Mike.

You should paint the body yellow or school bus orange.that would look sick.It sounds weird but my dad had a 72 chevy tuck that was that blue with the school bus yellow/orange and it looked really good

my cage is trashed on the roof etc. I think you're going to end up repainting that cage a lot sadly. Did you clear it 50x?

Yea I know its going to get multi-layers of paint, no clear. I didn't get this thing to be a queen but I would like to keep it looking pretty for a little while

Now that I finally broke the front bars its time to build something. I don't know if I'm going to use this MSD winch, it sticks up pretty high on the hood and its a pretty nice winch to mess up on the rocks. I cant seem to find a tubing look I like for the front end and it doesn't look good with a tube over the top of the winch to protect it, so I guess I keep bending tube till something looks good. I might also bring the servo up on to the frame but I'm wondering if its going to push left to right to hard on the chassis. I know people have done it, what do you think about it.

Don't use that winch Mike use a beater like a 3racing winch with the servo controller I sent the like about.

We sometimes go to Big Tujunga, Lake View Terrace has a real nice spot, perfect for scaling. Its off Foothill at Osbourn st, there's not a lot around here. Forest Falls, its bitchen there, but its 2 hr's from here.

Some more body work, wish I could find some glue so I didnt have to screw the body together, from what I have found, Weld on 4 is the best thing to use. But as usual I spent the day looking for it and no one has it in stock.
