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

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 :lol2:

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

Looks awesome! Cant wait to see it finished

I've ran into quite a bind here, Paint, what color?
A few suggestions I've recieved are:

1. Lime Green
2. Dull Blue w/ Gunmetal/Silver decal
3. Crimson
4. Passion Plum (purple obviously)

Please help me decide!

Hmmm..from that list, I would have to chooooose....bright red.

:thumbsup:

alrighty, adding bright red to the list

Ok, the colors are as shown

1. Lime Green
2. Dull Blue w/ Gunmetal/Silver decal
3. Crimson
4. Passion Plum (purple obviously)
5. Bright Red
6. Reccomend a Color

go with the lime green its unige and pretty kool

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

Two tone, black over red with the black wheels

Thanks for the Input, it really helps :D

About the wheels, I can go in any direction with those, I have Chrome, Black, and Gunmetal 1 3/8 in. (19's) and 1 5/16 in. (20's)

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 :D

Id say dark blue with chrome wheels

I have a nice set of chrome rims that I've been comparing to the body, thanks the input really helps :D

black wheels with chrome lips. i'd prefer that.
body color. something bright..

That's what I had planned, if a dark color is chosen, then I'll use the chrome, if a bright color, then the black will be used

cool ass.. keep the progress goin..

too bad i got no spare wheels for the bmw, or else im in da club..(contest)

Where do you live?
It would be off the walls if you said Arizona, because I have a drawer full of wheels ranging from 1/24: 15-18 1/18: 15-24
and I really dont mind parting ways with some

im in australia. hehe thanks btw. im entering anyway.. who cares . the beauty of modification not always on the wheels :D

very very true

LOL I treasure my spare wheels, maybe it's just cause I'm a kid and money is tight.

how a bout orange...o wait thats my cayenne going to be:D

haha, orange was the color I stripped off it

Now, that I've sized up my exhaust system, cut the metal bed, and made a new rear end, now I'm making airbag solenoids, I'll take a picture of them asap (not for actual working bags, just look-a-likes)

I also made a new exhaust tip, it angles at the ground from the side cut resting place, looks real nice, soon as a color is decided I can put it in place and show everyone esle how good (I think) it is.

paint it like chameleon green to purple

I don't know about color... I say go with Ferrari yellow... :D

we need some more pictures here.. hehe

Well, I need paint before I can post more so.... I dunno, maybe I can post parts I'm going to use, I'm also working on some tutorials.

OK, it's all prepped and ready to paint, now I just need to know what color to paint it, I got the airbag solenoids in place, the motor is wired and harnessing a cold air intake that sits just behind a custom billet grille, and the interior is waiting to know what color the body will be to judge whether a light or dark color, and the underglow is on it's way :D

Maybe I'll make a Tokio Jungle Decal to stick on it somewhere. o.O

coooooollllll.. hehe what is selenoid?

The actual airbag itself, the thing that lifts and lowers the car. (not working, just for looks)

cool.. give sum silicon ..
post pic post pic hehe

I painted the Interior flat black, put racing seats in and a new shifter, now I'm working on making a center console to hold a 10 in sub and a tv screen, In the bed area I'm making a sub box to hold 3 10's and 3 12's, 2 amps, and 3 tv screens, gonna be p.i.m.p lol

damn does this thiong goes in the contest?

i hope soo

doo you sell&ship also some off your parts? can you send me an pm of what you got(ma ny thanks)

Ok, here's how I stand untill paint is decided upon.

Here's a shot from the front angle, showing the nice color matching with the wheels, and int. (if light color decided upon)

damn side outlet exhaust...

damn, I thought that was close enough, oh well, I'll take a new one tommorow outside with sunlight on it.

This is off topic but what is up with you two (ElRxBandito and PETET) and the TOKIO JUNGLE in your sigs?

Just a team, I hope it becomes slightly popular and it catches on, and we can have Team Build Off's , I dunno?
