You know what? Just when I think I got something different, I find out that everybody has everything.  I'm building a rig right now using that same body! Ironically, mine was molded in red and I painted it blue with some Krylon Fusion. I bought mine like 5 years ago at a Goodwill and have been waiting to build it up. I was wondering the same thing about making windows, I may just paint mine a dark smoke gray to look like tint. I'm gonna get around to filling those three holes on the right door someday. The roof holes I was gonna fill but I can't decide if I want to put the emergency lights back on or not. You might also want to look into strengthening the bed floor, mine cracked in 3 places. Have fun with it, it's unique (x-cab and drop bed) and bigger than the Tamiya F-350 bodies.  |
