|  Big rig
So I have always been fascinated with big rigs and have always wanted to build one so here is what I am starting with, a Tamiya Globe Liner murdered out currently. I couldnt pass it up for the price with a trailer it was a steal!!! So I plan on stretching and lowering it with a Pete conventional cab and alot of custom made parts. Let the fun begin...    |

I think for this one I will make it on road lowrider but I have almost enough parts to do a 6x6 recovery vehicle for my crawler friends when they get into trouble.

Decided to chop up the cab over and try to modify up my first plastic body. Removed some holes and mount locations and will be filling them in.   |
