Default Project BLING

I'm starting a thread to show the mods I do to mine.
I want it to look as close to my 1:1 as possible.
I've only so far chromed my roll bar and stinger.(I don't have chrome roll bar and stinger on my 1:1, but I thought it'd be funny/different to do it to my 1:6)
I also put chrome behind the head lights to give it a real headlight look.
I also mimmicked the chrome bezel/ring right in front of the headlights.

Tomorrow I am gettin the stuff to paint it and led lights, so I'll post up how that goes/looks when done.

Here's a couple pics of how it looks now...also if you look close, you can see I also chromed the arms/links.

looks cool i guess, isnt it just going to crack and chip off the first time you come down on the stinger?

No...actually it's a stainless steel....TAPE...LOL...I got it when I worked at Intel

It's tough to work with in this application, but looks killer from a couple feet away.

Cool.

Did you use the same tail lights I used on the 1:18?

I think so...but on the 1:6 there is enough room behind the taillights for the leds to fit. So I drilled the hole, stabbed the leds in and popped the lens/taillight back on over the leds...Pretty cool.
I wheeled it at night, and it was awesome. But now I need rocklights!

I hooked up some bling gauges...





I'll try and get better pics. I had trouble w/ the lighting I had.

I took parts from the remote to make these.

Sorta...I would do it a little different next time/for someone else's that would hold in better. I don't think mine will go anywhere, but I could see it happening. If it does, I'll do it better. No more real work just didn't have the stuff to do it different today.
Now that I know how to do it I could do it very easy now.
