Too shiny! You need to spray that whole thing with flat black, then weather it with rust & dirt effects. :P

Cool beast of a truck, I like it!

Hi, USA 1, nice ride, seen the re make of the movie, way cool, very 'retro' and interesting from the minute it started. Wondering where you got the 4 fog/spot lights from, the ones with the orange lens. they are aluminum, I seen them one time on ebay some company selling them but forgot the name and could not find em anymore, $15 a pair it was. I have a pair that I paid $30 for, thinking they www vintage!

Thanks Guys, Ron These are Ram Lights I believe they still make these. The light brackets not so much. Lenses can be lost and remake using thick scrap body material, I cut out the side windows from the other body and used them as lenses. Metalcast Paint becomes the Plastic won't chip off
I been meaning to do a body in Metalcast paint and then back with chrome paint if it will take..it should look awesome..

Thanks a million USA-1 :mrgreen: Now they are popping up all over on the bay! will be getting the $15 one, they are all the same right, there is a vintage set, whats the diff between the new and the vintage if anyone knows?, I have a pair, they are the vintage kind, kinda surprised these are still being made like this, all machined from a billet of AL! real good quality, you can polish it and what not, USA MADE!

Use it on crawlers, 1/8s, etc, I will be mounting a pair on a kyosho Datsun I am working on and on a custom rowdy Baja extra circuit 20 buggy, 1/8 scale.

good to have such fine parts on your ride!

thanks again USA-1, much appreciated

Just went through the last set of pictures with the polished engines - it´s a beauty.

Thanks Dennis, I don't know what can be done with fuel tanks caps? also I like colorful fuel lines makes it easier to know which tanks goes to what motor. I'm thinking it's done for now..
