Little Red Truck...C-10

[TURTLE]

That thing is friggin sick Turtle!!:shock:"thumbsup" Great work for sure. Now I've got a good reason to get Green Bean back up and running.

I "rolled" the drivers window all the way down on GB and left the passengers side up. My vote is to roll the drivers all the way down so the driver can hang an elbow out and roll the passenger's side down 3/4.

Thanks Griz
Thats exactly what I was thinking.
Plus when I drive it like a submarine I figure it will let the seat dry out better without getting condensation all over, plus mold:shock:

It shall be done!
More to come in the next couple days."thumbsup"

:idea:Even better, dye the sliders brown with rit dye and then paint over them with black. That way when they get scratched they look rusted like the body!!!

oh thats a great idea.
So wrecker were do I get that stuff?
You got any?:lol:

Walmart sells Rit dye from what I understand. The rust thing on the sliders is a great idea.

I've got black.
You can get it at any grocerie store. Safeway, King Soopers, Wal-Mart, Fabric Stores, etc. Get the liquid stuff if the bottle though, the powdered stuff doesn't work. There is a crap ton of different colors too."thumbsup"

Alright finished painting the interior. Driver side window is gone, and passenger side window is half way down.
Photos later...
Any one know where to find some wipers, mirror and a rear view mirror?

Project is starting to slow down a little, I m trying to build a scorpion while I build this right now.:lol:

 

[TURTLE]

Well got alittle more done on this...
I got the front wheel wells done and the rockers are black now.
Also check the window.;-)

Huge find for me today, found these lights sitting in a box."thumbsup"

Oh so I realized the hardest part of making a drop bed and full interior is trying to figure out were all the electronics will go.
I actually had to make a functional tunnel just to route the wires from the motor.

Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks for looking
Ty

Few more shots.

The amount of room I have for the electronics is only under the hood:shock:

I still need to find a driver Im going to my girlfriends mother's house on thursday to go through her old barbie dolls and see if I can find something

The lights dont work yet, but they will, just want to get this thing ready for our trail ride this sunday, lights will come in a couple weeks."thumbsup"

And yes as of right now it is running, test run tomorrow morning!

Where do you put the battery?

 

[TURTLE]

Where do you put the battery?

I stole the battery tray from the scorpion, you can see it were the reciever is sitting, the reciever is going to sit right on top of the battery or esc.
About to go test it here in a few, so we will see what works best.
I'll get some trail photos too.

Nice work dude

Thats the one problem with the scale builds is trying to find a place for all the electronics and stuff...usually ends up being a PIA. Looks like you got it figured out though "thumbsup"
