Nice two tone paint. Really has the factory look with that paint job. It looks like a nice build, especially taking into account it was your first styrene build. Its great seeing what you can accomplish with some good old fashioned hardwork.

Now to see what chassis and wheels it's going on.

Wow, that paint really pops! If you don't mind me asking what primer, paint, and clear did you use? Also very good styrene work.

thanks.
its duplicolor factory match ford emerald green and mocha frost over black primer with several coats of clear
got to give thanks to Hoosierdady for helpin me with a few questions, thanks again man

making my own chassis out of 1/2" square tube


not sure about wheels yet,havent figured out what to run yet. iv got a set of tlt axles, leaf springs on the way,tailgate,grill,light lenses are ordered, and a buddy is hookin me up with a new set of treps/walker evens wheels from his jeep kit.

gonna build my own bumpers,the plastic tamiya ones look factory but they wont survive.
still need a trans,shocks,driveshafts. christmas is gonna keep my play funds at a minimum right now, so itll probably have to sit for a little while

I don't get how people can make bodies look this good. I tried and failed.

this was my first try,i never expected it to turn out this good.i found it easier to not bend any of the curves,use smal pieces and make the curves out of angles,between sanding and filler,you get your curves
