Awesome! Cant wait to see it finished. What mods do you have to do to get the dub city wheels to fit? Who makes the paint?

Dang. Thats a sweet paint job. Keep us posted on how it turns out.

Can't wait to see more.Love the colour.:bigthumb:

Thanks everyone!!!

The paint is Tetors Sapphire Blue Metal Flake (can) and all I did to the wheels was trim the back center post down even with the wheel. Next will be the interior. I'm thinking a flat gray, maybe just a primer gray. :confused:

I wouldn't sugesst using primer as the interior color. Just paint it.:)

Well here ya go........interior painted (primer) and installed not complete but in there. I used primer because I wanted that flat finish and it worked :biggrin: . This picture is more true to real color. This picture was taken inside under flouresent bulbs I'll take more pictures outside tomorrow.

NICE! I want to build a truck like that with a race trailer.

That's bad ass!! I really like the color. And do you have any close up pics of the primered interior...it sounds pretty sweet and interesting.

Now that's a truck! We need more of these slammed beauties around here. Good idea using the Dub City wheels.

Thanks guys!!!

The interior came out cool! I still have to sit down and detail it out.

Hey, great truck, I love it. Can we see some pics of the underside?

Not to critisize, but the passenger seat isn;t assambled well, perhaps you could do something about it?

Yeah I have already taken it apart and fixed it. :)

This will look awesome when you finish it! I'm starting to grow on liking the minitruck scene and by seeing this model I'm going to give it a shot with the same Silverado, see what I can do for a minitruck model! Thanks for sharing this with us, I love it.

Wow calvin thats great looking! :naughty:

Great to see you here! :iceslolan

Well here is an update.....

I still have to adjust the cab to fit right add the front turn signals and the back-up lights. I'll take more pictures tomorrow outside (this was taken in the late afternoon)

Looking very sharp indeed! Keep it up and I hope you can post it up when it is finished!

Looks very good. When you're done, post lots of pics.

Calvin, did you use any of the kit's frame and suspension or just metal axles and sheet plastic?

hey glad to see your doing better with your silverado then i did with mine! i had to throw min out......put way too much clear then dropped it on a carpet..the carpet hairs where everywhere on it. :banghead:

how did you slam it down that far? i couldnt go that low with mine......the wheels where hitting the whells.

Looking good!

Did you slam the suspension as well?

Well this is it....this is my slammer (slammer = all show no go) the stock frame is under there but its chopped up. Basicly the wheels are glued to the frame, there is no suspension whats so ever. The motor still fits but I probably wont use it.

thanks for the welcome comments
