No offense, but you need to find a clean white background to take your pictures. That way we can see your truck better...

[lvnlwd]

ok will do

[lvnlwd]

better update pics per request.......motor and radiator is glued in now

[lvnlwd]

well i cut up the rear of a bronco body from mpc monster truck kit.....dont worry cause the body is the same as the amt kits lol..the front was done with just sheet plastic and filler....its rough still , have some sanding to do

[Fat Brian]

Cool, I was wondering how you were going to small them wheel wells up. You have now completely distracted me from my rat rod build and all I want to do is pull out my monster truck projects and join the party.

[lvnlwd]

my next build will be my other bigfoot and make the black stallion .....its exactly like bigfoot just with black body and red interior

[lvnlwd]

i was looking for the f150 bed but i had that bronco one and decided to cut it instead of spending 20 on a kit to chop....i already have spent over 80 bucks building this one....supplies and kit and boss 429

[lvnlwd]

i seem to enjoy doing the monster trucks better than the cars lol.....maybe cause they are just bigger

[lvnlwd]

decals i had my buddy make..... i will use them as paint masks

[lvnlwd]

more sanding and another coat of primer....almost there

[lvnlwd]

started body colors

Eric , This is looking really good ! You're putting alot of effort into the detailing and scratch building . Isn't it fun ? ! ! Especially doing stuff you've never tried before ?

This will look awesome when you are finished !

BTW - Your photos look much better now .

[lvnlwd]

a few touch ups to do because of the tape but i think it looks ###### good for my first custom tape job

[lvnlwd]

at tooOld .... yeah its fun and frustrating at the same time...... ive always wanted to build this truck and had the kit to do it for 7 years putting it off.... by the time im finished it will have cost me around 150 bucks..but its one of a kind

[lvnlwd]
