Default Hardbody H3 Quad Cab Pickup

I havent seen one of these done yet so I decided to try my hand at building a body. I dont have much experience with body work so its not perfect. I took two suv bodies and made a quad cab and also built a drop bed for it. Its not 100% complete yet and its just primered right now but you can get the idea. Here's some pics:





Here it is sitting on my scx10 frame not mounted so its sitting high. 12" wheelbase

Looks pretty nice for your first go at a hard body.

Dammit!! Now I got to think of something else, you beat me to it..

Looks as good as I thought it would, very nice job!!

Not digging the huge light bar though, needs one of those small strips.

for a first attempt, I've gotta say that's pretty much perfect.

Good job

Ya the light bar looks better in person those pics dont really do it justice. This 1:1 H2 was my inspiration:




but after looking at alot of pics I built it to resemble this:

Ah man...I actually WANT to paint that one. Some nice automotive waterborne with 3 FAT coats of urethane clear. POW!!! But it'll have to be the flame job. You keep that family wagon craptacular paint job to yourself homie.
