Your tires are backwards

radishkid · 11-13-2005, 05:25 AM

I like the "Pilsner" rear view mirror... You've got a lot of detail into this one. What color are you going to paint the chassis? At this rate, I'd go with a flat black and then add a little rust with model railroad weathering paint. Then seal it with a semi gloss. It would look fairly realistic.

Bonus points for the unconventional heim mounts at the chassis. I'm sure they work, but why mount them this way?

fullmodtxt · 11-13-2005, 08:23 AM

Really cool little truck! Then again, I'm partial to TLT-Bruiser combos anyway. The lower link frame mounts certainly are different. Upper link axle mounts are really neat! Where do the uppers mount to the frame?

Unimoger · 11-13-2005, 10:22 AM

sweet, kinda looks a little " dukes of hazzard " I love it, the dents and the pilsner mirror are the best!

bigred · 11-13-2005, 10:56 AM

Looks like he may have heated it up with a lighter or somthing to me.

RD400 · 11-13-2005, 11:56 AM

That truck looks like it is sraight out of "Mad Max". How much does that thing weight? Looks kind of heavy, top heavy.

Does it get hung up alot on you lower link mounts? Any skid plate going in down there?

I know, lots of questions, sorry.

tlt_doc · 11-13-2005, 12:06 PM

dude it looking great so far, paint the frame and your good to go.

Got Rocks? · 11-13-2005, 02:13 PM

go over to scale4x4rc.us so you can see the build-up

madhatter · 11-13-2005, 07:21 PM

First off thanx for all the positive feed back! always nice to get .
Yes I realize the tires are on backwards and no it's not the first time this has been pointed out thank you. All the current pics of the truck are pre-run and I never really worried about how they were on for the build up.
As far as the chassis goes I'm not sure what "fullmodtxt" means about a tlt-brusier combo? No Brusier here man! The frame it self is a one off hand built

the frame will eventually be painted black then sand blasted in all the places a real frame would receive road rash. Then a little water and straight oyxagen will be used to create REAL rust!

! The roll cage will end up black or yellow, no decision yet.
The heim joints are stainless out of a automated Potatochip scale. They're put like that so they have more articulation than a standard mount would give. And the upper links are the same on the back, but the front is traditionally mounted under the trans.
The dents are lighter produced and yes it is heavy!!!! This truck will more than likely be used for general red neck stuff like muddin and truck pulls.

CronusTRD · 11-13-2005, 08:03 PM

Vinegar will make it rust brown overnight

CSR · 11-13-2005, 09:03 PM

Great truck! It's perfect! The cut Boggers, tube bumpers with open ends, dents..... I have two friends with real trucks that look just like it! All it needs is a scale axe to stick down in the stake pocket on the bed and it'd be an almost carbon-copy scale reproduction of my buddy's ol' Ford!

I can't wait to see this one finished!

thaclodking · 11-13-2005, 09:40 PM

The rig looks great, love the dents and the ripped off side mirror! I would definitely put a skid on it to keep the lower mounts from getting hooked.

1BadJeepBruiser · 11-14-2005, 07:57 AM

i like the dented up body and torn off mirror, looks awesome like that. the chassis looks awesome, i like the cage too. great work
