Default Dakar Style Rally Truck

first off i'm sorry if you don't think this thread belongs here, this is gonna be a rally truck not a crawler




i've been running alot of rally cars lately and decided to start a dakar truck. i started with a bruder garbage truck, a tamiya mercedes cab and part of a highlift. the main goal is to not look like a trash truck anymore.
garbage truck mode


cut in rear fender out of pvc pipe



started on the skirt out of 2" aluminum angle


shortened it a 1/2" i like this better


should look ok with some paint on it still have alot to do
