Here's my finished eBay challenge truck. I bought a mostly built 32nd scale fire truck off e-bay so I could use the decals on this build but when I got them they looked like they had been left outside during a rain storm! so I had to use a set of "peel and stick" decals I had on hand. I guess they look okay after I painted dull coat over them, but I would have much rather had the water slide set.
I knew I wanted this to be a hot rodded truck with a patina finish from the start of this build, however I kind of wish I'd built it as either a working fire truck or a derelict rusted out truck because I think it may generate more funds for this site that way. Anyway, it is what it is. I'll get it packed up and sent back to Iceman this coming week!

This is terrific AK! The engine looks very well built, and cleanly put together, the wires just look like they belong in the setup. I really like what you did with the water tank in the rear, and the color is really sharp too! Great concept!

Makes sure to write out your description of the build and forward it to Iceman so he can include it in your ebay ad. Very good !!
