Re: WIP: Street Lightning

I'm gonna assume that the blackened part of the pillars are gonna be chopped? If so, it should look pretty good!

Re: WIP: Street Lightning

I would say not chop the top, that truck is more for street/racing looks, not low-riderish. The shape is great the way it is. You should throw it on a mustang chassis if you can.

yeah. im not gonna chop it. i tried throwing a mustang chassis on it but it didn't work out the way i wanted it too, so i just stuck with the stock frame. also that won't be the final ride height. its gonna have a stance to it so it looks mean

Re: WIP: Street Lightning

update
Ok. Finally got around too making some progress with the truck. I finally got the wheels mounted and the suspension set up. I also made some custom exhaust tips that make the truck look mean, I think. So tell me what you think. Comments and critizem welcome. Tell me how i can improve on my work.

Re: WIP: Street Lightning

I like it. Is it possible to make the back sit any lower and without the exhaust touching the ground?

Thanks. Yes it is possible to make the back sit lower without the exhaust touching the ground. Im not sure if i want to lower it anymore though. Cuz it has a stance to it that i like. Plus the tires kinda stick out alittle, but it looks good.

Re: WIP: Street Lightning

Now that I have a Camaro,we'll be able to race. But not too sure if I can win by looks. Well,but in the speed,i think I do,cuz my ride is lighter and has more aerodynamics.

Yeah ill race ya. but do you have a supercharger? lol. I have some more updates but can't get pics up till later today. So far i have trimmed the exhaust so it doesnt stick out so far, and i have been working on the body. Its just about ready for paint. Also instead of copper im gonna do it in silver or gunmetal and do the wheels black or gunmetal with a polished lip
