Not flossin it yet, but watch this space.

I just got this MT but I can't start bashing it yet

. I woke up this morning and tried a different kind of racing stripes. The inspiration, the life-line on a life suppot system. Cuz I have to breathe life into this monster. What do you guys think of the stripe?

I took some photos, these will be the befores. I'm thinking of a simple 2-tone truck with those stripes.

Maybe i'll get some more shots at the beach or something when it's finished.

Chillin in the shade next to my new ride

The sun is sooo hot

its 33 degrees C outside, 35 inside

And here's the best one...

I just want to see this thing in action!!! This thing feels soooo solid. I've already done the suspension mod where you drill out the hole for longet travel. Next on the cards, a DC/fet SE board, tri-cell and my monster will LIVE!!!!!

Mwuhuuhu hahahahah.....

Why not?

I like the lines, especially on the roof.
If you're looking at the truck from the front, and you follow the line that starts on the left, before it reaches the windshield, it looks weird for some reason. It could be just me 'cause I am weird.

Maybe continue the line a little more before making the 'v'.

Also, what's the design on the doors?

Well cuz, it has no controller hence no charger, batteries have been hacked but may still be useable, electrionics have been cut out, I have an ugly SE board but i have no idea where to solder the wires.

I'll get on it tho

this'll kepp my lil' asss busy between classes

Oh!: and the lines look funny cuz i just scribbled it with a sharpie, not men to look great. It's just so I can 'see' it on the truck. And there IS a 'v' on the end of that left line, a small one. Maybe that's why you think it looks funny, cuz it is actually crooked.

i like the lines a lot! bring that bitch back bro!

I like the lines, but I say tame them a bit.
They're a little too "wild", the EKG's spiking! We're loosing him! lol

I know why you stretched them, but if you just moved the entire graphic over towards the middle of the body a tad, you wouldn't need to exaggerate those lines.

I like that idea. But i'll keep the best of both worlds, I'll move the beginning more central but the end will be brought back to match the roof offset. What do you think?

Aww yeah, the old vibe graphics. Don't know about you guys, but about '83-'84, every car in my neighbor hood had done those same graphics in their windows with pinstriping tape. It was of those trends that explodes then disappears as soon as it started.

I dig the vibe graphics, cool to see them making a comeback.

Sorry didn't mean to rain on your parade, but yeah, vibes are nothing new to me. I even used them on a car once.

You're a master of Graphics as we know from your other rides. I like the idea.........CLEAR!~~~~~Thoomp!

Nice job max. I always like originality. Speaking of "CLEAR!", once you get the final stripes down, put some clearcoat over the whole thing. Lately I've been clearcoating a couple stock-painted shells, and it's amazing how much better they look. Also protects everything underneath it.

Aw man!! you guys are diggin the stripes. And just this afternoon I was thinking of scrapping that and putting them on the side. I drew in the divider line with a sharpie to see how it looks. Somehow both seems like overkill.

I aint know man!!!.

I aint postin' no more pics till I'm done. But I like the side stripe.

We'll see what i decide

I'm so hungry

Took her to the beach this morning for a photo shoot. And yes, that is the real sky in the background.
I've cut out the tray to add something there later. I'll let you guys know more about it alot later when i actually get her running. But for now, enjoy

:

The first 2 pics look like i did the articulation mod, but I didn't.

I like the look of the F-150, not a 1:1 fan tho.
