biggusditchus Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sorry for lack of posts lately I have had no computer nor access to internet.. thankfully that's all sorted. Shell is off to Hydrowrap for "paint", the chassis has been painted black and a small rear tray for the back. I have got some aluminium stock to have a small fuel tank made.

Oh How Original Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Get some pictures up fella, before the shell goes back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggusditchus Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 @ Oh how original, heres sorry taken a while but the photos here will show you the really basic chassis. I have now got the bed sorted along with a fuel tank my mate has done on his lathe. The rear lights are the original marker lights from roof. That's it for now until the shell comes back from paint... this isn't a Rat rod anymore just a Rod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 As they say 'Britain's Got Talent' !! Looking really nice mate. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggusditchus Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Thanks Al, Paint is finished, the wrap hasn't worked really well but it adds to the effect want to get a logo made up for the side but not sure what.. thinking of the name for it being "deadbeat" in line with all the skulls. The colour is a green, gold, copper flip. Doesn't show well in the photos. Still loads to do on this, along with the Race truck, and my trailer. Then maybe I can get back to the Toybota LOL Edited September 17, 2013 by biggusditchus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 That kind of look deserves to be bonkers fast! Do you ever fit powerful systems, or just stick with brushed motors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggusditchus Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Taken a while but I guess I needed some special wheels to suit the truck then saw these on Joes(JTS customs) ebay site and had to get them. At the Leyland show Gareth was selling a set of low profile RC4wd tyres and grabbed them cheap ( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut jims Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 They look like some roman chariot wheel and suit it better. Is it a runner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
