Nice work man
Any thoughts on paint or will you keep it clear?

Thank you!

The body was sent off to CMDESIGNS for paint.

Looking to have a midnight rear end with all the bars painted silver. From the front of the bed to a portion of the cab the paint will be orange, followed by a checker effect running up at a 45* or so from one door back down to the other. The front will be white.

Something like that lol.

New motor is in:

just so happy to see some progrest will be waiting to see the body

Since A-Main had 20% off of $50 purchases today I had to order some misc parts.

Graphite Transmission Brace
Factory Team Unobtainium Shock Shaft Front and Rears
ProTek R/C 4-40 x 1" "High Strength" Flat Head Screws - this will be for the shocks, going to put blue washers on everything I can. Looks much better than the blue screws and you don't have to baby them.
Blue Countersunk Washers
0° Rear Hubs (white) - Black nylon is throwing off my white truck.

And some other misc stuff.

Got these on eBay for $17 shipped yesterday. Gotta love a good deal.

Here's a video:

Got these off eBay for $23 shipped yesterday.

I think that a graphite tranny brace would look really nice on your truck

Thanks, me too!

I'll be mounting it with blue washers and flat screws. It should look very nice.

Ok, got the graphite in and blue washers for the shocks. I need to order flat screws for the brace so I can use the blue washers... sigh.



These will go in at some point. Feeling lazy.
