Exclamation Possibly Constestant

Here's my F-150 SVT Lightning Sled Project, dosnt look like much now, but the doors are almost shaved down, the motor is plumbed and wired, the subs are in, the interior needs to be painted, the rear axle setup needs to be resized and obviously it needs paint







Tell me if you think it might be worthy

Re: Possibly Constestant

Looks like it will be pretty cool to me, but I don't know anything about diecast customizing. The biggest thing I have done is swap windshields in my Viper GTS because it was broken, and it didn't even fit because the replacement was from a different brand

Re: Possibly Constestant

Windshields are a pain, this one has a small crack and a missing corner, so I'm going to make a sun visor to cover them up

How about a sky blue, that or go with the lime green, you need a unique color for a unique truck.

Primed

Finally, A nice coat of primer covers all that nasty raw metal :P
Still needs minor sanding here and there, and then another coat of primer after it's all prepped and ready to go
