I love the scale "rust" effect on the body of the flatfender. Live in the rustbelt that may be the most realistic of them all!

I've been scaling for many years and always like seeing what people come up with for scale details. I've made all this stuff. I left out all the bumpers, sliders and chassis even though technically they are homemade scale parts, anyway onto the accessories.

RTI Ramp


Roof Rack


Hydraulic ram


Hi-lift


Trailer hitch and ball mount


Interior with handmade dash, seats and floor.


Fuel Cell with dimple dyed mount
