Talking the sharpie chevy :)

Hey guys!!

Many of you guys Probley have seen my truck with my proline F650 body. Here are a few pics of my proline Chevy body aka the sharpie Chevy lol. I got bored today and desided I was going to take a perment marker and use it to pain my proline Chevy body lol.

I also got my aluminum parts but only had the money to buy the rear axial carriers. My truck is still tranny is still blowen up Wateing on my foc tranny to come in..

Well here is the sharpie Chevy lol.

I don't think it looks that bad for it being done with a sharpie..





Here are my rear aluminum axial carriers.



Hopefully Friday my truck will be fixed and back up and running...

I don't think I want to spend 35 on a arms when the stockers are strong enough. I think I'm going to boil the a arms.


Thanks ntrain for thoes links. The aluminum is a real nice clean peace. Now all I need to do is get the foc. Still Wateing on that foc it was supposed to be there last Friday and now it's on back order and will hopefully be there Friday....

The back. Yes you can. Probley some other parts but as it stands now you can't really see through it. So when I seen the pics I used the sharpie again to cover the spots lol. I'm not done yet I'm going to go back to it tomorrow with new markers..

It looks great, and the translucent colouring adds to the unique nature of the truck. I was not sure what to expect when I saw that the truck was coloured in with a Sharpie, but the result is still impressive.

Looks good for Sharpie, but why? Just curious, not trying to be a jerk.
It must have taken a long time, i would have just sprayed it black, takes 15 mins
