Thanks!

The body is from a Wal Mart toy, the West Coast Choppers Burnout edition Silverado.

The bed area and bumper were welded together.

The area behind the fairlead was opened up and a servo winch was intended to be fitted next to the motor. I sold it before I got a chance to mount the servo.

Itnow has a functional winch.[>:]

I don't own a welder, so my buddy Matt at Dinky R/C did the welding. He used a MIG setup.
