Really like the looks of this truck. Not sure about the chrome frame rails, but otherwise it looks great!

Looks great, cant wait for mine to arrive :)

Yeah, enjoy the build AJ :)

Just finished cutting out the body. First time. Thank God it went pretty well! Will post pic.

Body cut. Not sure if I should cut out the grille.

After some contemplation, I went ahead and tried to cut out the grille for a more scale look. Unfortunately, the scour-peel method didn't work. So I had to spend many hours carving with a xacto knife and filing to get the lines as straight as possible! All holes have been reamed out too.

Needs some skin tone. Or maybe I'll leave it translucent!
