Are you talking about shaving the model or lowering the model.

Shaving is easier, lowering is different for nearly all cars. But I guess htere is a way for all.

BTW that silverado needs some panel lines and trim on the windows.

well on most real minitrucks the tank is removed from the bottom and replaced ontop of the bed. well most of all my friends trucks that is what they have done

Just make the thing out of styrene, touch it up with some putty and sanding, and wallah.

Easy, easy. ;)

Panel lines... maybe. They don't always look good on a concept vehicle, especially one painted as bright as this. They're often too thick.

What window trim do you want him to do? The front window is as factory, as are the rear cab windows. The only question is the door windows, which could very possibly come trimmed like that.

I think it's a very well executed model!

That truck is mine off JMWerks.com. I can tell you that I did cut a section out of the gas tank and then glued it back together. The seam from cutting was filled with putty and sanded out. Once paint flet black hard to tell it was even cut.
