MN D90 Heritage soft top
 
Got an MN90 a while ago, never ran it, had just opened to do some mods, but since we've been trapped inside due to the impending doom I have made some progress.

Truck is mechanically stock except for "uograde" shocks which are terrible and a cool LED kit with front and rear lights.

Since I'm going for a Heritage-like look I replaced the grille and added a 3D printed radiator.

There's something cool about soft top rigs, so I cut most of the roof off and then made a soft top out of old nyco fabric, really thin. This was time consuming but came out ok I think.

I've started some interior detailing but no pics yet.

I love how detailed these smaller bodies are. Ended up lowering the suspension and putting smaller tires on mine. Lots of wiring for all the lighting too.

That's an awesome cloth tophttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...99f071c0a8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9655c2cf35.jpg

Which wheels and tires are these? For the 1/16 WPL trucks?

I've got 3 of the WPL trucks. The C24 is a 3rd gen Hilux which I absolutely love. The C34 tires look really nice on your 90!

Finished the interior. Nothing too crazy, some colors on the dials and seats, aged some popsicle sticks and made a wooden floor for the bed. Now I have to 3D print some Pelican cases to put in there. Jyn needed more surgery to fit in the steering wheel but she looks comfy in there.

Primed the body and did some surface prep. The Heritage grille is looking better than I thought.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cffbfc587f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f44afed0ad.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8222cbe403.jpg

Great looking soft top!"thumbsup" It looks "factory" made! It adds a really nice scale look to it.

Also like the Popsicle stick bed! It turned out great!

Thanks to quarantine I've been making some progress. Painted the inside and outside of the body. Going to let this cure a couple of days before buffing it to see how glossy it can get.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...89ccd688b6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...637fe04846.jpg

The MN-90 is pretty much finished. Just need to add some mirrors and a license plate. Fun project!

Looks outstanding.

That canvas top is a tour de force and the paint choice is sublime. Unreal execution. 8)

Don’t forget the lower outermost tail lamps are the (amber) turn signals. The large inner clear light is the reverse light and the large red is the rear fog light (a European thing). Some newer cars have one on each side, but if there’s only one, it is commonly installed on the same side as the driver/steering wheel.
