352 heavy big horse

[cowboysevens]

some of you might remember this one, i started it about a year ago, almost gott'er done . i still gotta finish exhaust and small things like decals etc. the cab , motor, tool and step boxes are from ppvintage. the tanks are from rhino's truck parts (real pollished alluminum) the frame is from a 3 axle 359. when i say heavy i dont just mean heavy hauler, lol this build ways about 10 pounds with all the resin and real alluminum on it. this will be my first truck ill take to show when its done so please let me know if ya see anything i missed or have any ideas. thanks





















i have lots of in progress pics if anybody is interested let me know ;D

I enjoyed the reminder of this one

as requested here are some work in progress pics

i got the length for my frame by layin everything out that i wanted to use on this truck, then i took 2 revell germany 359 frames, the back half is from a 3 axle drive heavy hauler and the front half is standard so i had to space out my fish plate cause the heavy half is thicker.











for the cab paint i started with broze then taped off , then blazing orange and taped it then final was the rootbeer brown. after taping i seald the edges with a light coat of clear so no bleed thru between colors
