Large Car Limo

[russisloud]

well since i've been slacking off and waiting for parts the last few days, i decided to build a truck body for my self. i don't build alot of custom bodies and so far this one is working out good.

this is a shot of the real truck and i fell right in love with it

[BRICKNICK]

Wow this is sick....there is a limo company in California that has a 48ft race car trailer converted into a rolling portable bar/night club that they rent out for parties n bachelor partys....I was looking, I'm getting married in August and wanted to have that Pete large car limo bring me to the wedding but its also in California. 3000 miles from new jersey.

[1985 kenworth]

wow russ great job you said you were going to light the tanks...how with l.e.d. inside :cool:...never saw that before waiting to see how that will look...definetely a custom build all the way!:D

[SWAGGER]

Oh my God! I am trying to watch my language here but holy sh........

That thing must be 8-10 foot long! And it looks like it could do 100MPH to **** and back. Something like that needs skulls and flames to reflect it's bad *** nature!

[russisloud]

[SWAGGER]

Every single time Russ! Every time you do anything, you just knock it clean right out of the park. That thing is pure mental and unlike anything I ever seen before. It's so bad *** it makes bad *** sound a bit weak.

[Izzy]

Nice graphics = that's way too cool! Which LED unit is that? is it a flexible strip or the light tube or what? Where'd ya get it? Gotta hve one myself.

Izzy

[1985 kenworth]

Wow russ ...unbelievable....so now all you need to do is hire a driver to tool around town with it for advertisement...where can i get an application...lol

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Bad *** Russ it is nice to see another car hauler and wraping it a great what to finish them I did the same on mine.. Great Work keep it up.

[Diesel Demond]
