Too shiny! You need to spray that whole thing with flat black, then weather it with rust & dirt effects.
Cool beast of a truck, I like it!

Re: Mad Max Vehicles..
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!

Re: Mad Max Vehicles..
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 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

Re: Mad Max Vehicles..
Looks great
Just went through the last set of pictures with the polished engines - it´s a beauty.
Next - new fueltank caps and fuel hoses. Either black or blue, that much I´m prepared to letting You decide on

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..
