you get something like this :












I have taken the chassis to be shot-blasted and powder-coated while I will cut the bed overhang. In the absence of doing the detail such as a welding bead, it is almost done.

Love the weathering effect and the realism of that old school radio antenna!

Awesome rig. If it were mine I would weatherize white spoked wheels.

I didn't notice the kill marks on the drivers door before, should have expected it with that Zero paint scheme. Looks great, some of the best weathering I've seen.

Like your new avatar too.

Can't wait to see the whole truck with the shortened bed. Looks great! Are you planning on wearhering the weld bead?

Thank you so much !! I bought the bodysuit already painted and decorated, I fell in love when I saw it

Yes, I want to make something that emits a bead of solder to "hide" the cut.







Makes you want not to paint it, how good it looks just shot peened

So is the chassis going to get a cool rusty paint job? Looks great man.

I have no idea about doing paint like that honestly, the idea was to powder paint them in black like Martin sold them at RcModelex, but I liked it in bright gray, maybe a coat of varnish and it will stay like that, in the afternoon I will see how remains with the body and the axles

When you sit the body on it I'm sure you get some ideas. You make me want to build one, so nicely done, as usual.

Was just thinking. You actually drive your trucks, so the chassis will weather itself

This ^^^^ As much as I love the beater look, I wouldn't touch that nice chassis. As Wicked stated, your trail sessions will get it dirty....naturally!

It now looks more like a welding bead than before i think

Looks great man.

Something came from Germany, I love that country, honest and sincere people with the prices and the state of the material, not like here where they only buy Injora poop and we think we have gold when it comes to selling, and then we want gold at a price of wood

 

[WickedFog]

Oh, laser etched panels. Very nice!
