Caddy tails I picked up from NNL East, and the rims are from hoppin hydros. I think they are called Toras? I like those rims you have on yours, those also from HH?

Oh yea... Lemonheads pwn!!!

NNL East is a model show, but if you do a google search you can find pictures from the past shows.

Great modeling! Not much my cup of tea, but I can see you're doing pretty well, nice blending in of those parts and it just looks very clean already!

Keep it ^.

Wow great model, lol i am building one as well with a lot of similarities i might add. I have been working on it for a while but still havnt gotten around to posting up the WIP thread. Oh well even with similarities they will hopefully be very different, but they are both coming out great so far!
Hooray for custom truck ethusiastss! Woot :thumbsup:

Nice to see some familar faces, and people that even remember me, since this is like my 3rd username here now lol I had sk8er6811 and IntegraTypeR186 but now its this and I'm sticking with it.... hopefully:lol:

Verbal update as I didnt get a chance to take new pics. I finished the center console up, did all the final details on the dash, and cleaned up the body a bit. I also constructed a bed cover and the mounts so it sits flush with the top of the bed. The color has also been chosen, it is a nail polish but it should look very nice if the body is as straight as I hope to get it. It is midnight blue from sinful colors. I will get some pics of my updates and the pics of the color up sometime tomorrow, and hopefully make some progress on the front half of the frame.

This is looking pretty cool. I think the Escalade front end is a great idea and you've done it well. It's probably harder in 1:25 than 1:1, too :p

Here are some pics of the color I chose for this build. It is very hard to capture the true color of this, but I think you will be able to get a general idea for it. It has a ton of really small metal flake in it and in the right light it looks really nice. Here are the pics.

Well I finally got the color mixed with the thinner and it is ready to be sprayed, I just need to wait for the primer to dry on the interior pieces and bed cover, then I will get some pics of everything tonight. The body had a few more imperfections which I took care of but the body has not been re-primered yet. I will probably get the body primered tonight after I get home from work. I will also get pics once I get home from work. Sorry about the lack of pics lately, just been busy lol

you could probably do a "cut 'n' shut" job where you take the kit, remove the extra part of the cab and glue the two halves together.

i can probably make a tutorial if you want.

The one in the picture he posted, please try to keep this on-topic

The one in the picture he posted, please try to keep this on-topic

he said his had a different front end. to me that said he may have the previous generation, or a different bodykit, well i'm sure he's aware of scratchbuilding for the bodykit if that's the case.

he also said "so i can build it like my truck should be done" that indicated his isn't complete yet, it's possible that the truck he pictured wasn't his, and was an example of one similar.

so basically, don't be so rude. and don't jump to assumptions.

What kind of glue did you use to hold the frame and rear suspension together? This truck is sick, I love it.

SidewayzS15

08-26-2006, 02:26 AM

It's liquid crazy glue, in the skinny tube with the plastic case, used sparingly it dries quick, then you can go back and make sure its in there good later. You can probably see it in the background of some of the earlier pics.

Here, i'll do us all a favor and end the confusion:

Jetts has an 03 chevy, the front of the model being
discussed is an escalade, jetts has changed nothing
other than wheels and height, visually that is, so he
means he wants a model of his generation, the current
one, not the last gen, like this model.
