Not bad... use the view on vehicle thing on tirerack.. Those Bristols, I tried them on tirerack on a long bed verion of your truck, pretty darn good looking if you ask me

 

I thought that I would just add this here seeing as I didn't really know where else to put it...

I've been working on a Side Project; It's a 1/28th R/C of my truck, so I figured some of you guys might want to see it.

(keep in mind that the body is for the 2nd gen chassis and I have the first)

Here's how the body started (except in blue)



Then Right after I took a section out to make it a reg cab



2 Part Epoxy Drying



Some of the low spots being filled



After first coat of primer and some more filler



It's not done yet, but I thought I'd share.

I've been up to that as well as going to a car show with my job. I didn't enter, but I parked near our booth and it gave me a chance to take some pics.













Oh, seeing as the fire dept sponsored the show, I thought you guys might like to see their Super Duty.

 

Looking good man.

 

So, I got to work early today in order to paint my tail lights.
Before I say anything else, I got this idea from somebody on here. I would give them credit if I remembered who it was... <facepalm/>
Anyway, on with the pictures...

 

Way too many pictures, but I was really happy with the outcome.



Input wanted though; first off what's your opinion on this (just curious)?
And, I was thinking about taking some Niteshades and shooting maybe one or two light shades on just the reverse (white) part.
What do you guys think?

 

looks good now clear the whole light so the black and red will kind of blend into each other

 

I was thinking about it....

Either that, or picking up a Saleen Tailgate Trim. Those are satin black and I figured that would flow too.

Thoughts on that?

 

Thhat's pretty neat man. Makes it look like the thinner tailight style from early 90s through 2000s on the various F-series trucks. I like it. The nightshades would look neat, just make sure you keep enough contrast so the light doesn't look like one big blob. On a side note, I have a feeling your truck is going to shock people on this site. You have slowly been playing around with it. I bet in a few years if you continue with your work, you will have one mean reg cab that would be hard to trace to the origional shots you posted a few months back.

 

Thank you very much, that means a lot.

 

Any time... I love seeing threads like this. There is something amazing about watching stock trucks transform into even better things. I have a feeling in a few years people won't be able to imagine what what my had looked like when I first got it too Customization is fascinating and executing it well is hard to come by when I see some of the trucks on the street where I live. Keep it up bud

 

those taillights remind of the newer ford explorers

 

Thank You again! I pretty much live on this forum, so I will always keep this updated. I took a look at your truck and I think it looks pretty damn good so far too! I agree though sometimes it's hard to come by; you see all the trucks on here and it almost sets an expectation, so when you drive down the road it can sometimes be a shock. ..but hey everyone's going to have different style so who am i to say anything.


You know, you make a point. I hadn't thought of that but now that you mention it...

 

yeah i think that if you dont get the saleen tailgate trim then you need to clear the lights

definately looks good tho man, that xmod is badass too!

 

Thanks I was wondering wether they were any good or not.

 

Great thread, never to many pics. Thnx. The PS of the truck lowered,,,looks great.
