What RBP truck are you modeling after? I might be able to get you some more/different pictures if you need them.

The chassis looks cool and all,but it's not scale......

its a great start.....you really should spend time on the details though, like the door handles and headlights and all that jazz....you are going this far, why not go all the way??? you are really tempting me to do a powerstroke!!!

You have built one beautiful rig. I don't spend a lot of time in the TLT section because there just isn't enough time in the day, but I'm so glad that I came in and got to see this rig. I'm a succor for anyone who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty and fab something up anyway, but I think you did an excellent job. Congrats on the successful build!
