Starting project 9/22/02

I got my first subscription to Truckin' magazine and I was lookin' through it, the whole thing was basically about shaving things off your truck. So I got into the mood and started looking through my closet and found this.

I dont know what you are gonna do with that thing mate but Good Luck anyway!

good luck there. i got an altezza im doing with shaved handles, rain gutters, and other stuff. i think it looks better when it's all smooth, instead of having all that stuff.

Good luck your going to need it.(Did you use the truck for parts?)

I have that same kit, what a piece of sh!t. I think i'll rice mine out now, thanks for the idea!

Nicely shaved trunk.

Kicker1_solo, I've got 2 v8 engines and 1 v10 engine, which one u want?, And I also have just a chevy block, if you want that too, 1 of the v8's is terribly painted, the other is ok, the v10 is out of a diecast viper and it looks really nice, whichever one you want, tell me!

lol, actually I have this beautiful chrome motor out of a nice little mustang that I was planning on putting in there, thanx though. Oh, and I sent your package off yesterday (monday) so you should have it by Friday at the latest. Tell me when you get it too. :)

So I decided that I'd take the paint off and do another color. So I started scrubbing the paint off, using water, soap, paint thinner, everything. Once I realized I couldn't get it off, I used white-out (the stuff you cover ink with when you're writing) and painted over it with that trying to hide the red paint. Ended up throwing it in the closet. 5 years later, I get it out and decide to practice stuff on it. So it's my experimental truck. :D

Yea, the mold lines seem to always be gone and there is no bits left from the sprues on the parts....I wonder why? :D
