Trying to live up to my name, my first work with putty
Well i figured with a name like "Sporttracguy" i had better damn well have a sport trac bit. I have an overland Sport trac but no bit,, Yet. Last night i started grinding down a chevy avalanche thats the same size as a zipzap body (came from a pull back truck) So here are some first putty shots. So far its only been molded and applied with an xacto knife, i havent done any sanding yet,, i still have alot of plastic to shave to get the correct shape and that rear window just has a glop of putty until it cures
This is my actual truck that im trying to copy on bit scale. I did all the custom work myself including the fiberglass and carbon fiber work

That'd be cool to own a micro version of your truck, good luck man.

lol, Not so deep after this truck 
Im a college student and make all the money for my truck from my truck. I design, build and sell those custom fiberglass parts and do custom work for other vehicles in my free time to pay for all my toys. Since i install everything myself it keeps the costs down a little as well but ive found that modding bits is alot cheaper these days 
although that truck is my first passion in life
EDIT:
Thought i would throw in an updated pic,, ive been working with the putty to get the grill correct and of course i had to replicate everything on the other side so its been taking me some time,, next ill need to prime it so i can see it in all one color and get any low spots or chips out,, ive been carving plastic and putty forever and need a bit of a break. The plan is to paint it estate green and it will be on a lifted suspension with 4 cells and all the trimmings but thats a long way off. i just stuck it on a zz chassis so it looked more like a vehicle rather than a blob
