Purdy!!!! Great work. Nice lines and scale. I would love to build a 1:1 looking like that.

| well this aint the first tubin/cage work that i've done,( i have helped alot of freinds build cages for 1:1 drag cars, mud boggers, and crawlers-i also build bicycles, mini bikes/trikes, and i even built a vw pwered trike for myself)just the first time this small and detailed. oh and the brazin, well i had a foreman show me "how to" about 10 or 12 years ago, and i have never done it since-either he was a damn good teacher or i paid real good attention |

| i think it's been mentioned, but we are goin to "shave" the back doors, so it looks more like an extended cab instead of a 4 door, and as of now it will be krylon-metal cast green-kind of a metallic, candy-ish color

a word of advice i learned the hard way, don't try and come up with some custom color and spray technique , it makes touch up a pain, i learned that the hard way lol, sure my custom grabber orange looks cool, but it won't if i ever try and do paint repair on it.

| yeah we have discused that, and we are actually going to prime it black,then a stockish yota silver color, and then the green he wants, i know it sounds like alot but it's really not, that way when it gets the tipical rock rash it will look more like a 1:1 instead of it just scratching back through to the white plastic
