Both the truck and the tailer are 1:18th scale DUB escalades, the trailer is just sitting there for now becasue I just got done cutting it out from the escalade, should be finished in the rough when I can get to the hobbie shop.. but here is a mock up photo.. Let me know what you guys think.. Thanks for the look


This is going to take a long time.. Hope you guys fallow it.. Probably going to paint it Tangerine Pearl..

Glad you guys like it.. I am also making a custom concil for this truck.. its going to be holding probably 2 subs.. Oh and this is Kinda weird and some of you will be like WTF.. but I am also putting a viper v-10 in this.. Yes I know.. Mopar and Caddy.. but what the hell LOL
And look at the grill.. its custom.. kinda has a upside down triangle that is now solid in the grill and will be painted the same color as the truck.

if some of you recall i started a project about a year ago were i put a viper engine in the ml55. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=417103 well recentley picked up that project agian. so once we both are done it'll be two totally different cars w/ the same engine!

btw were are you taking the viper engine from? got mine from the older bburago.

[scarface199]

I think it was a bburago, the GTS.. Blue with white stripes..

Thanks for all the comments.. There is alot of work ahead of me on this.. but most of it is already complete.. thank god i found the escalade I have already converted into a pickup truck.. becasue that initially was ALOT of work!!!
but its all worth it...

[nosliw2004]

[scarface199]

Peace out

here is a update on the trailer.. still have to add some more putty, and then smooth it out.. but this is how it is looking so far.. I used thin Balsa wood for the rear bumper.. and some thicker balsa wood for the front of the trailer.. still have to get to the hardware store for square aluminum tubing to make the frame to connect to the trailer hitch...

[nosliw2004]

that's pretty sweet. what did you do with the front half of the esclade that you cut in half?
