That's not vac molded is it? Looks like a nice resin job. I think those wheels are too big for it (the rims are great), but I really like the body.

Nope thats not a vac mold. im gonna attempt a vac mold with it.. and id like to do a resin mold too. but i just have to figure out how to do it.. a vac mold of this can be done, but to make it vac moldable with the materials i have i will have to put a tuneau cover on the back of it.. maybe a small piece of canvas... or cloth painted black or something..
as for the tires, they will work with some mods to the chassis.. basically i will have to lengthen the axles.. and then mount the body on posts...

Nice truck!
Doesn't even look like it needs that much trimmming to make it work. That will definitely be a cool one, it's there now!

Spanky, two requests:

definitely make the tony stewart home depot chevy montecarlo, it's my mom's fave, she would buy that one, too lol
thanx...
