I almost gave you a run on that truck. I kept looking back at it over the past few days, finally decided I have too many projects, and in a monster truck mood right now. Nice looking start, and right on the money too. Will make a nice truck.

I like! How much did it end up costing you?

Never mind, I found it! $66.88 Damn ! Great deal dude!

I wouldn't have bid much more than that though, as I have waaaaay too many projects aswell...

Glad it went to a member. Looking forward to the updates!

Nice truck dude.

Do you know who made the aluminum shock collars? I think I have a set of those lying around, never could figure out what they came off of.

Thanks.

received the truck a few days ago and i got a chance to strip it all down this morning.. this is what i ended up with.. a bunch of purplish parts that are in need of a better dye job..haha.. i dont there is any chance of saving this one and bringing it back to white..

some progress-

still waiting on the towers to get here from fyberlite and to find a black motor plate

im also going to change out the shocks out for something else

looks a lot better know. Any plans on using a black rear tower?

Looks good in black w/red screws. I would go with a black rear tower too..

He has Fiberlyte towers coming for it, don't you guys read
