As regards this truck, I have to agree with the above statement. Absolutely fantastic....!

That is a piece of art, and wasn't the King Cab Tamiya's first stadium truck?

You know, I'm not really a truck guy but this is real art! Great restoration of a real classic. My hat's off to you! 8)

Looks fantastic, nvxwax! I love the wheels, I've always been partial to that design--that was the first style of mag wheels I bought & installed on my 1970 Charger back in the 80's.

I love that design too. I'd flip left to right though so the spokes go forward, like a saw blade, make the truck look even more aggressive.

I know I've expressed how much I like this truck, but man that thing is sweet. I'll never get tired of looking at it. Vintage r/c of this caliber this doesn't come up very often. This is the real deal right here.
