Man that thing is looking killer! I really like the shot with the top removed. You could run a small cage system in the cab and cover a couple of roof bars with wood to simulate the slats that are left from an old canvas top. Just an idea. Keep up the good work!!!!!

quick photoshop to show what im working on

Let's get that view ticker rolling again, ladies.

I FINALLY figured out why I didn't like the truck 100%. The proportions weren't totally off, I just forgot the channel the sumbish. Well, before hacking into the truck, I decided I would make a photoshop representation of what the truck SHOULD look like.

here is this representation.

Then I decided It looked much better and commited to it.

And the final roughed in product.

I am currently working on getting the two half to fit together better with such little luck its laughable. I will do it though.

Edit: skullcap(roof) is on for mockup and driver is in. Looks pretty damn good if i must say so myself.

Keep up the good work."thumbsup" How does the suspension go it is something different.

 

[SStone]

Finally some originality!

RC4WD.com has a Engine/xfer case that you can fit an electric motor in. Its scale, and would probably look good exposed under that hood. Its awfully pricey though, and I dont know if its waht youre looking for in this build. But I figured Id mention it just in case you werent aware of it.

 

[danielk]

thanks guys.

about the RC4WD engine/transmission, i'm not gonna drop that much money into something so simple. I will figure something out for the engine bay.
