Killa-Cotton's TF2 Silverado SS

[Killa-Cotton]

I just got started but I couldn't wait to pics some pics so here they are. I'd like to hide the battery in the bed and I'm stuck trying to decide whether to do a bed drop and build a tool box for the battery or do a tonneau cover or maybe even a bed topper. Can't decide on a color yet either. Anyone got an opinion on this? This weekend I plan to get the body mounted, fab some wheel wells, flip the shackles/mounts, chino the front leafs and play with some different springs for the front shocks to try and soft the suspension up a little. Here is the part list so far. It's nothing fancy but I think it will perform fairly well and make for a good looking scaler. I remember reading somewhere about how to remove the red tint & Earnhardt logo from the windshield. I did a couple but searches but came up with nothing. anyone else remember this?

Man you sure have some really still hands to paint up those Pajero wheels! They look great!

 

[Killa-Cotton]

I got a secret weapon. I used one of those paint markers with a ballpoint pen tip. You still have to be really careful but once you get the feel of how much pressure to apply it gets easier.

where did you find the Chevy body? if it lexan or a hard shell.
nice truck though.

 

[Postclanker]

Ah...something different, I'd leave it black
Sure wish there were other options for 1.55 wheels besides steelies and the other 1.55's in the RC4wd stable. Wheels look great...."thumbsup"

Sweet looking truck! Love the Chevy truck bodies!

 

[Killa-Cotton]

Yeah, the white 1.55 steelies that came with the kit just didn't looking right with this body. I could paint them black of course but I figured that was too much because you couldn't tell what kind of wheel it was then. That's why I detailed the Tamiya wheels to make them stand out better.

Looks great buddy! A sweet option to the Toyota body."thumbsup"
Did it line right up or have to modify the length?

[Killa-Cotton]

I had to 4-link the rear with 106mm lowers and 98mm uppers. That put the WB right at 12.3".

Hey kills have you got your truck finished yet, would love to see some more pics and videos!

 

[Killa-Cotton]

It's almost there. I've gotta get a set of better shocks. Now that it's 4-linked the stock rear springs are just too soft. I haven't run it other than just setting the trims up so i don't have any videos yet but I'll post some more pics today.
