could we stop the hating now

very nice frame im still gonna make u build me one. lol no more hating ppl its not meant to be a "OMG LOOK AT THAT" model. just a prop for a truck to sit under so what if it cant turn how many models of yours (camaro boy) with custom suspension turn and everything? anyways good frame keep it up.

overkill ?

If He's gonna try again, and actually not have a thread locked you really don't need to call anyone out. That's just asking to get all this started again, people are still going to voice their opinions. Calling someone a "Hater" isn't gonna stop that, that's just gonna make more people talk down to you because that is a pretty stupid thing to say to someone. When you post pictures on a public forum it shouldn't be to say, "Everyone tell me how good I did, I don't care what you think, Just tell me how good it is." You post to get others opinions, and half the time around here it's gonna be a criticism.

I personally like it, Some people go for full detail of the suspension on trucks like this and some don't. If bill is happy with what he built, I'm happy for him.

Keep up the good work bill, can't wait to see it finished.

i didnt have it closed lol i closed it.. and no hating or this one will be closed

:sunglasse tagged. looks pretty good man.

i think it's a bit to high...or the wheels are to small....or both
sorry, but i think you should make it more "decent" it looks a bit like "too much"

too much


overkill ?

sorry..........I still don't like it.

quick question for you guys, do you not like the model or do you just not like bill? be honest.

damn thats high :smokin:

I don't even know Bill......I just don't care for the truck. Its a good idea ,its just poorly executed.

I personally think it's neat as hell. When the paint is on there its going to look pretty sweet. Right now though it is hard to see if it is going to look good or not. It almost looks to high, but again I attribute that to the fact of no paint being on there. Keep going man, too soon to tell yet I do see your vision.....I think LOL.

thanks for all the good tags its about time they came

i like that truck on your signature

Umm could that get any higher.

its only 2 inches :D

That is still pretty high for a model

isnt it:d

too high... IMO :eek7:

RS

too high... IMO :eek7:

think mary poppins when you try to figure out how to get on and off that thing

Do you have any pictures of the body? just the body? what year is the truck by the way?

Im with everyone on the to high thing, I like big trucks, dont get me wrong, but I think thats a bit tall, but to each his own. It looks to me like there is a bit of a forward rake?..like the rear is a bit taller than the front? maybe its just me. have you thought about adding a few springs from pens at each corner, I think that would give it a bit more realism, do it sort of like a rock crawler suspension, nice and beefy.

Looks cool, could still use a bit of work, but ill be watching this one closesly. :smile:

If this is a 1:24 model or so would the lift be like 20 inches or something. or even higher.

actually in scale it would be 48-50 inch lift.. hence the 1:24 is 1 inch for every 24.. So thats a 4 foot lift if it was a real truck.. IMO I would keep it that high but make it a bit more realistic. Add in some mega arched leafs or even a full on tube frame with some crazy four links like the real big time jacked up trucks are running.. Also i would ad in some tie rods and center linkage so it atleats will look like it would be drivable.. Later Rick S

Yeah that is a good idea. I was thinking agian that it would be around that height. That is a pretty high life.

thats nice but i wanna see big motor and side pipes. lol

hey not bad, and clear pics too lol, nice job man

It already has the 460 in it stock. BTW its a 1989 for who ever asked what year it was. I Couldnt imagine this thing going too fast around a corner :lol:

it would tip over lol

if you ask me, i think it looks silly. its way to high

interesting concept

if you ask me, i think it looks silly. its way to high

you say that now.. just wait till its finished

too high... IMO :eek7:

Now tell me its too high :screwy: :loser: http://streetsourcemag.com/Chatroom/images/slap.gif

I know nothing about this kind of trucks... So if I tell you it seems to me having too small tires for its height, please take it as my personnal taste, not a critique. The most important is to have fun! Even if the result may not be realistic (in this case, I don't know if it is or not)! So far, this model looks very funny, I would really like to see it finished!
I certainly missed something, but I don't see why there could be a quesion of hating about it!...
... This model rather makes me smile: there is life here apart from Skylines! (I'm a Nismo400r fan, ndlr! :lol: )

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I've post my... post before seing your pics! Whaô! Now, I understand! Really impressive!!!
That's fun!
Can't wait to see it finished now!!!!!! :lol:

here is my lift

These pics should have been posted earlier: misunderstandings would have been avoided!

its alright...maybe a lil too high for me, but still, i give you an a for the work it took to do that.

edit: and posting pics of other trucks that sit too high, doesnt help either...they all look jus as silly as the model sitting that high.

hey bill maybe we should take these import boys down south, see them say it silly looking to one of dem southern boys,lol.

one of dem southern boys would stomp a mud hole in their asses and walk it dry

That's crazy lift! I'm doing one on a 78 dodge lil red with 4x4 conversion and a hemi. I don't think mines even that tall. I think I lifted the suspension like 7/16''s and the tires give it like a little over and inch of lift. Mines not realistic, it has control arms attached with springs on the rear, and the front is just two solid tubes that will be black so you cant tell they're not springs. I'd love to see more of this truck, hope you get it into gear and finished soon. Best of luck!

hey jdm...i live in the south. i still think it looks silly.

thats your oppinion man, just stop filling bills thread with stupid junk, it is pretty messed up that he has 3 pages filled with the same thing "it looks silly" did you guys ever think maybe you might be hurting bills feelings? i think this thread should be locked, and bill needs to make a new one, and in the next one you dont have to post "it looks silly, cuz im damn sure he knows already. :loser: :lol:

jdm...you apparently cant read. i give him big time kudos for the work he did. ill admit it, i couldnt do somethin like that. i jus dont like it. i respect him for the work. he asked for opinions and he got mine.

that post wasent directed to you only. yes you gave him credit for his work and i am sure he thanks you for that, but how bout the other 50 post with "it looks silly" in them, its not like you just had to say it agian, is it? im not trying to start anything, but i just think it is pretty dumb for so many people to post the same thing over and over agian.

These pics should have been posted earlier: misunderstandings would have been avoided!

:iagree:

never saw these before. I thought you are going to make it monster-truck like - what are these kind of trucks used for?

@jdm: i can understand you willing to help bill. And i agree that maybe not everyone used the right kind of language telling his opinion but i think closing threads cause of to much negative feedback and starting a new one where only positive comments are allowed isn't the right way to handle this...

ok everyone stop with the drama and look at the system bitches
