RE: New Clod build *UPDATE-INTERIOR*
The gauges leds and signal lights are rated at 12v but the 9v battery lights them well. The head lights and the roof lights are mini-bulbs though. Roof lights are rated at 9v and headlights at 6v.Still 9v seems not to affect them due to resistance added by the rest of the lights. Rear lights will be leds also at 12v.

Well cage mostly done with spare tire carrier on top and netting covering(that will be painted black of course!)Completed pics will be here shortly.
Next I will paint this thing, add a few touches, move to finish the rear lights, modify the tranny plate etc....man! As said before the idea of a trailer to attach to this also came to mind.....damn...
Hope you like!

Damn!!! The detail on your rigs is insane!! The guys here at work couldn't believe that they're working models & not full-scale trucks! Great job. I wish I had the time & talent not to mention patience to build one myself. I'll be checking in for a look at the finshed product

Don't paint it! That color already looks great.
Also, please tell us about the silver Camaro concept in the background. Is that a model kit or RC? It looks nice... [:-]

It does look like one of those 1/6 cars they sell. I was just hoping it could be something... wonderful
chaman, that color looks like OD green. Is it a primer?

Update:
Accesories that were scratchbuilt earlier were installed. I also added a CB antenna made of heated and lengthed styrene and some fine solder wire to made up the base. Thinks it add a nice touch!

:update:...First photoshoot!
Still a few things left like door mirrors but I wanted to see how she looked in some pics. The Blue Blazer was added to compare the two. Stay tuned!!
The scale items will possibly stay where they are in the pics.

I guess around $300 in getting all the materials and parts. Specially getting them at Ebay and having patience as you score good deals.
Thanks for the kind words! Adding scale tire valves as we speak. Pictures later in the week!

Scale tire valve stems. Center wheel caps are crooked since they were just placed there for testing and pic purposes.

RE: New Clod build *UPDATE-INTERIOR*
Thanks! Ebay is your friend!! Some details were scratchbuild from styrene, wood and many objects around the house. I recollected parts for about 3 to 4 months before i started building. Dogs are from Toys R Us!
