This looks sweet! Talk about custom! So much customization on this custom build! In fact, I bet if you tried to go through customs into Mexico, the customization alone will have the border patrol wanting to do custom checks on this custom build, all customary of course |

Thanks guys. You're so funny, Tom. The red was looking too plain. How about some gold?   |

Sprayed the wheels the same gold as used on the body. Wheels and tires are from Modelhaus. Thanks to Pat (62pyro) for providing the wheels and spyder caps. They wouldn't have arrived on time. I did order a few sets though for future builds. I think they're going to look just right.   |

Thanks guys. Appreciate it. Pat - If you can't find this cab, looks at Paul's build for this month also. He chopped the cab himself and it looks better than this resin one. I'm away from the bench after today for two weeks. Here is where I leave you with this one. The pics show the finished grills in place. Some mock-up shots before moving to the interior and chassis when I return.     |

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. Well I was in a hurry to take pics and post them that when I went back to flip the truck right side up, this just didnt work out. One side ended it up lower and lifted the truck causing one of the tires to not touch ground. Had to re-think the positioning of the pipes so straight down it is giving it an inaccurate look over the rear axle. Once again not planning in advance.  Next pics will be of the finished pickup.   |

Looks good Ice. I have a tip that might help if your bending metal tube again too. If you fill it with sand (dirt is no use as it will compress while sand doesn't) and put a cork in each end before bending it should stop the tube kinking as it will effectively be a solid tube. Once it's bent just take the corks out and the sand comes out leaving a nicely bent tube.
