Chevy 3500 Dooley Slammer

Folks, what do you think about this project:?
Chevy 3500 Dooley Slammer



I was thinking about putting under the hood a '90 Corvette ZR1-LT5 engine.
I want to paint it black / orange candy
The wheels are from Aoshima.

I would like to hear suggestions and if possible, some pictures in that style.

Thanks in advance!

where did you get the dish for those rear wheels!?

[Jurva]

Keep that paint scheme. I like it. Paint it, deep dark maroon red. There has been enough of that black/orange/silver painted silverados.

my neighbor has a truck simular, in a tan color, pretty sweet pickup!

Hey!

That is awesome work, esspecially the lowering! I have the exact same model. I wanted to lower it but I had no luck, after all my attempts to lower it I just gave up and tried to modify it, and in the process wrecked it up.

Do you have a AIM or MSN messanger? I would really appriciate it if you could tell me how you lowered it. Thanks!

It is a simply exercise. I caught two rings of other Aoshima wheels and I joined them, making a wide dish. Then I put the same front wheel in the tire, giving the appearance of inverted wheel.

Well... really has a lot of this black / orange / silver scheme... but I like that combination black / orange. I wondering to do some ghost graphs in the orange area, with some stars ou somestrips....
A friend of mine (thanks Magli) just drew this scheme: the darkest area would be the black. The clearest area would be the orange, with the strips in the ghost style.
What do you think about it?

I say use that color scheme!!!!!!!!!

I have this same kit, and now I know what to do with it!! Keep us posted on the progress!! Before you get slammed, post this build in the completed and progress thread!!!!!!!!!!!

Some kind of 2 tone paint would look good

Yea that color scheme looks perfect! But please make a bed cover for it and IMO it would look really nice if you let the stripes run along the whole car. And maybe insert a hood scoop, I don´t know if you´re planning to do a more "clean" build because if you are I don´t think you should use a hood scoop.

Something like this;



Take a look at this site and let your imagination flow...





I don´t know about you but I think something like that would look very nice.

I think that those colour could work. Throw some silver stripes to it.

Hey Drago, before you start a new project, how about you finish the pendant projects? Can you remember of the Chevy 58 that you promised to be a stunning project, and it is parked on your desk?

Regards and Happy New Year (for all people...from Brazil)

Weel, it s a pretty good work to lower this one, especially with the terrible chassis that comes with the kit. I'll build a new chassis with new "A" arms e all new suspension!

ol' dude
OK Man... I'm already providing the pictures and the text. Unhappily, the updatings will be a little slow, because I am with other projects in the desk! But, stay on! I'll put a new progress thread as soon it's possible!

Sorry, but, What is IMO? Thanks for the website and for the scoop idea, but i think i'll go with the clean style. And about the bed cover, I was thinking exactly about leaving without it, so the back suspension will show up. Something like this:

What you guys think about it?

Dirty Runner
My friend Outlaw, you're absolutely right! But that '56 Chevy (not 58) is drive me crazy! A lot of scratch... URGHHH!!!!!! So, i decided give us a break, you know... But, this one Silverado maybe bring me up the same problems! I hope not! I'm waiting for your great 2005 models! Don't take so long ok?
A great 2005 for us man!

And special thanks to all freinds that sent ideas and praises!

[DukeMan]

Sorry, but, What is IMO?

In My Opinion, I did´nt know either in the beginning, but I tell you it´s very useful! I´m sure that whatever you decide to do with you pickup it will look great! Keep up the progress!

P.S What about having a open bedcover with hinges so that the suspension still can be seen?
