here it is, finished:

[WOW PHOTOBUCKET IS SO FREAKING SLOW!]

















i ended up stripping it once, and then painting it again. i will warn you all, again, Duplicolors Metalcast line of paints are very hard to apply, but look great when finished. the color is the Duplicolor Metalcast anodized blue over silver, and then gray primer on the way bottom. it has quite a few coats. i lost one of the window wipers(or at least 1/2 of it) while i was stripping it, i think. all the other stuff is either Duplicolor flat black or some type of Testors brush paint. in case you didn't notice i left a couple of engine parts out, either cuz i didn't feel like putting them in or i forgot.

came out nice, but where is the grill?

[Feint Motion]

Looks cool. Nice job. Is that orange peel I see?

[g00eY]

thanks!

MidMazar - i cut out the grill cuz it looked bad with all the closed holes. i might put some mesh in.

Feint Motion - mmm i dunno. it's pretty smooth when you touch it.

Do a billet grill; it's easy and looks good.

i'm not much of a fan of billet grills so i just stuck some mesh in the top opening. looks a lot better than no mesh. i'm too lazy to take pics, though. do you still think the exhaust tips are too big?

I think that is orange peel.
the blue paint on the engine and seats looks horrible
Look at this car http://www.forum.moto-portal.pl/viewtopic.php?t=6226 its my forum mates. You can learn alot. Its in polish-yeah but just look at the pics

1 - what is wrong with the blue paint on the engine and seats? that is how the paint is made.

2 - i don't speak that language, so i have no clue how i can learn a lot from it.

Not a big fan of pick up trucks, but you made a good effort with it... There is a bit of orange peel, around the lights, but it's nice colour... Trim work looks good, does need a front grill though, just to finish if off..

Good effort, and keep on "trucking".. Sorry, bad pun..!!
