This is really neat to see, finally! I've been contemplating resurrecting my long dormant r/c hobby, but with something I can better relate to this time (trucks, lol). However, I don't know if I am brave/good enough to attempt a scratch build of my truck (VNL) as a first build.

BUT, if you need any detailed pictures to help you out, LMK. I currently have two VNLS, (daycabs) so access isn't a problem.

Nice job so far!

Great build so far. Here's a video to inspire you i watched many times.

Very nice build! This is a hard build, because of all the rounded parts of the truck. I'm thinking maybe use Knight Hauler headlights?? If you can find just the headlight. Very impressive build!:D

[will43209]

Knight haulers wouldn't work. Maybe some thick clear plastic. Some plexi glass might work, if you can cut it. But I don't know if the light would shine through. Hmmmmm.
