Panel work

[Szczerba]

I sent Duuuuuuuude some LED strips and various diameters of delrin rod. Got back some waterproofed, sweet LED bars.






Random picture.


HPI mini trophy truck interior will go in. Figure may be too small so i have an Apache interior in the mail.

Apache is a lot bigger than the TT interior. They are almost too big looking in my 2.2 Trophy rig.

[Duuuuuuuude]

Looks like its going to be a fun rig.


I'm also enjoying your choice in livery. Very nontraditional stuff there.

I've been noticing that on some builds as well with the apache interior. That's why I am going to see how the Trophy truck one looks.

Should be fun. That LS1 is about 6oz, not sure how the rig will react in climbing situations. I know the extra weigh will help the suspension do more work.

Livery. The panels will get painted silver or I will go with thin metal.

Lol. I dunno either.

Couple more of mock up.

Man do you ever sleep!

Looks good, would look better if you chopped the top.

Too lazy to chop it up. I like the taller cab.

Got bored today so I decided to make some panel tabs out of 16ga. Tapped for 3mm. I just ordered a gang of these from Carterfabandmachine.com yesterday but got impatient.

So, homebrew 90s.

thanks. When I saw the side profile in the FS section, I knew it was going to be mine. Something about the boxy-tallish look. I usually don't buy rollers but it was too cool and it needed to be finished out, so I knew I could make it look even better.

Panels are sprayed with matte aluminum but I am not liking the look. Ill continue on with these plastic panels but will probably use thin sheet metal for the panels. Trying to have this ready to go by Saturday night for a Sunday morning trail run.

[Szczerba]

All the body tabs welded in. Mock up panels painted and on.
