Project: Lightning~!! not my usual build

Mean_B16 · 07-17-2003, 05:17 PM

This is one I have on the table right now, I received it for free since my friend had no where to store it and wanted it built nice. I have not built a truck in years and this is where I first started learning how to lower and customize models. The truck is riding on 22s pulled from a side winder truck kit, the color will be Testors lime gold and I am trying to decide at the moment how custom the body will actually be. I am almost done with everything but the outside so i have to decide quick what I want to do to the body, any suggestions??? I don't really know this truck that well so I have no idea yet what to do.

I am trying a new upload tecnique so I hope this works!>?

IMO i think you should cut out that fake front grill...and those rims look sweet on that truck.

The grille will come out before I paint the truck, I also love the wheels on this truck. I used some tires off some other random wheels I had because they stretch so nicely around the wheels and look so good (the original tires are plastic with molded in flames and look very

)

I am not sure yet what color I will choose for the wheels since I am not a fan of the chrome, more progress will happen this weekend though and I will have more pics posted by next week.

Here is a teaser of the Chassis, this is the same color the body will be but I have not yet been inspired as far as customizing the body. I may just leave it stock but that is hard for me to do.

I just found a way to upload w/o burning a CD so here goes!

I will have more progress on this soon but I may not post until I have some body work done. Does anybody know off any body kits I can use for reference or inspiration on this truck????

Can you tell me how you lowered this kit??

Can't wait to see the colour on the body.Great progress.

That looks amazing!! Some ideas for customizing the body would be to chop the top, giving it a sleeker looker, you could rehinge the tailgate and/or hood.
