Yeah I have seen this thing up close, fuckin Sick, that's al I can say. Hiroto and his monster fender flares is something to see in person. The gear covers is a sweet idea too, definetly needed for the Maine snow romping this sucker is in for. Nice paint choice as well man, real nice.

Squadron putty from the LHS and a lot of patience. I use ZZ packaging on the inside of the shell to back the putty. I glop it on and shape it the best I can while it's still soft. Then after drying, I use files and sanding boards made from ZZ packaging with different grits of sandpaper glued to them to get the shape smooth. It's a lot of work, but worth the effort.
BTW: What did you make the rollbar and lights out of on your Silverado MT? I want to add those and side steps to a couple of my other MT's
@ SG219: It's just a prototype right now. I'm working on the finished peice.

I grabbed some emery boards from the $1.00 store a few months back and have yet to use them. I have figured out a way to get rid of those pesky window scratches we sometimes get when modding.

I tape all the windows twice to keep from hitting them with whatever I''m sanding with. When the body work is all done, I take the old tape off and re-tape for paint.
