[RAIDERS]

John looking good...

[gun]

wow sharp truck john i like it a lot !!!!!!!!

[BRICKNICK]

She's comin along nicely Jon, great work as usual

[bigpipespete]

Sure like how nice your paintwork always turns out John.

[Espeefan]

Looks great. Can't wait to see it with the breathers on. The color break on the hood looks a little un-natural, without the breathers hiding the break. With them it's going to be really nice. I can see it already!

[fhhhstix]

I was thinking the same thing Nathan but you are probably right the air cleaners will break it up. At first I was thinking the yellow should go up the front of the truck and tie into the roof but after pointing out the missing air cleaners that will make a big difference.

Travis

[doodlebug]

Sunshine bring's out the yellow!
Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

[el barto]

hey there

i really like your truck, it (was) cool and simple.....

the t-bar, in my opinion is much to much and doesn't fit on that truck. but it's just my nothing worth opinion

[gun]

Thanks elbarto its good to hear some one say yes or no about truck builds that's what this site is all about and without someone saying what they truly think then were not being honest with each other !!! Does any one else think the light bar is a go or no go I think john did a stand up job on it but if its not right for the truck let us know ! We can take it were big boys ! Lol

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Wow also nice to see a owner of a truck not get Butt Hurt about a comment. To true Shane were all big boys be nice but be honest..

I my self think the bumper fits the look of the truck maybe a little more show truck then it is but it looks great I am a less is more lights guy so just the bottom lights would of worked for me but it still looks good..

[fhhhstix]

I agree with Paul I like the T bar but less lights would make it look better in my opinion.

Travis

[Stylin n profilin]

Me likey..:D:D.. It does stand out for sure..But when this thing is done it will be little compared to the rest of the truck...It should look like a rolling Christmas tree:eek::p:p...There is a saying..."aint no feeling like chicken mobilin"..:p:p Cluck,Cluck, chicken truck..:eek::eek::p:D..

well, it should't be a destructive critique or sthing like that. i really like them both, the truck and the t-bar. but the truck is that smooth and clean, some sort of 'nice and perfect understatement' and the t bar is bling bling. two themes in one project, well, something new.

the overall work of the truck is great...

OT ON:
btw. gun, what do you think this truck will look like when it's finished? just take a look at your avatar :rolleyes:

http://www.team-energy.ch/forumsbilder/forumimages/2011/2011010800_img_0964.jpg
OT OFF

[gun]

wow elbarto that is a sweet ride in the making just the way a show truck should be long and low !!
are you going to move your fuel tank toward the steps and ad body panels between the cab and tanks and steps ? over all i really like the truck at this stage and ill bet it comes out top shelf

[Stylin n profilin]

You aint seen nothing Shane...Wait till he puts the build thread on that up...Video sound system...."AMAZING":eek::eek::eek::D

[Diesel Demond]

i like the lights. Im a chicken man myself ain't nothing like night riding in the niebor hood and drawing a crowd. cluck cluck!!

[Izzy]

I like the bumper light bar rather classy.....the color scheme is outstanding!

[Espeefan]

I like a lot of lights too, so if the T-bar stays, then the rest of the truck surely needs an equal amount of lights added to it in all the other places.

A bit off topics, those lenses and bezels are super nice! Are those made by Lynn?

[Stylin n profilin]

Thanks guy's its looking sweet...I know Shane likes it as much as i do...Boy its hard to give it up when it turns out that good...:D:D:p..Yes Nate..Those are Lynn's lenses..He is the man...they are just awesome looking...Now i have to replace what i put in the t bar...Figure i tease Shane so he has to order from Lynn...Sorry Lynn.. Looks like more work for you...:p:p:p:eek:

[RAIDERS]

**** john this truck is awesome.great job..

[gun]

Thanks nathan !!! John has done a lot of extra stuff on this truck just to add lights and make it a one off and well try to keep updates coming on the chicken lights !!

[BRICKNICK]

I love it, t-bar and truck. Needs a million more lights....lol

[gun]

Lynn do you give discounts for truck drivers with 200 or more lights ? Lol

[gun]

Quick up date just got a box in the mail from Rick and ill have some new pics up soon !!!

[diddys trucking]

i think that the rig looks great ! But i think that the cerved bits shuld go and maybe lose
a few lights to . Other than that perfect.

[gun]

Thanks diddy for the input . All the credit should go to John at S and P he did a great job on it and I'm very greatfull for all he's done !

[Dreamweaver]

I think it looks perfect the way it is... Why... because it is the way YOU want it.

Every one has their opinion and some match with your ideas and some don't, be true to yourself and build it (or have it built) the way you like it. For instance I would not think of painting a truck yellow, but I like the way this truck looks and I like Brian in PA's yellow trucks, but would I have one yellow....NO.

Input from other modelers is both valuable and appreciated as far as I am concerned and some of the input I have had on my build I have actually used, not because something I did was wrong but because someone else thought or saw something that I didn't think of that's what is good and useful about this forum..

~Mike~

[gun]

Thanks mike for the kind words and the honesty and always your input is valued ! I'm glad your back on the fourm and can't wait to see your truck with some paint and chicken lights ????

[4EX]

nice truck

[AZLIGHTNING]

Looking Good! Great looking paint job

[CAT29]

very nice truck looks great

[bigdogrod]

awesome looking ride, t-bar looks great, but now you need to add a whole lot more lights to complete the rest of the truck..

some color change led's would be cool, i haven't seen those on r/c before..

[BRICKNICK]

Any pics of the finished project yet??

[gun]

sorry for taking so long to reply Bricknick i was waiting on some parts to finish off the truck but ill try to get some pics. up soon. I just installed my radio and made it R C so today all i did was roll large in the living room. lol

Looks Great Shane! John did a nice job on it for you.

Brian

[BRICKNICK]

Hey gun the truck us looking real good, i also really like all the axels you got on tour matching drop deck. looks like the trailer could cary a nice weighted load.

[sneaky-pete]

That is a real nice truck Shane.
The yellow and white make a nice color combo!:D

[androiduk]

The yellow and white is an amazing combo , looks sweet , whats next for this wonder ?

[Espeefan]

Is that a Bruder trailer? Wow....I didn't think they'd ever look that good.

[gun]

Nathan It is 2 bruder trailers and about 10 foot of angle iron and about 40 screws !! I still need to put the boards on it and a tail roller or something ? Just have to many things going at once ! Lol

[Roadmasters]

Sweet looking truck, i love the paint scheme

[gun]

:eek:Thanks much guys ! I've got more pic. To post of some small detail work and steves bumper that John polished up for me . I've just been busy with work and cows the last month or so .

[ihbuilder]

I know the feeling Shane :confused: I finally got some wheel blanks cut this afternoon :eek:

[gun]

Looks Great Shane! John did a nice job on it for you.

Brian

Thanks Brian . John is truly a stand up builder and a great guy he did everything he said he would and then he put some of his ideas in it and I couldn't have built 1/2 the truck he did. I just need to get some of your steps and grill and some parts from Russ! SORRY for taking so long to reply but I should get my oval wheels from Steve next week and I changed up my heavy haul trailer and ill get some pics. Up as soon as I get my wheels !

[CustomClod]

Slick truck! Thats a nice truck all around! Great work on both parts!
Scott

[hammer]

Love the light bar I would have just went with the single row of lights along the bottom. I think the other six kill it. Then again what do I know. Awsome build John again.

Tony

[Diesel Demond]

I think we should give this light bar its own special name! Truck is sweet and the paint winds the clock back ! reminds me of the truck on smokey and the bandit at the very begining when the cops are busting him!

[gun]

:eek:well ok guys i dont think your going to like the truck when it is done! its going back to john and were going all out on the lights and weve found away to add a few more in the rear light bar and as soon as it gets back to Texas ill put yall some pics up:eek::eek::eek::D:D:D:p:p:p

[Roadmasters]

I like lights, going to look sick!

[ihbuilder]

:eek:well ok guys i dont think your going to like the truck when it is done! its going back to john and were going all out on the lights and weve found away to add a few more in the rear light bar and as soon as it gets back to Texas ill put yall some pics up:eek::eek::eek::D:D:D:p:p:p

so I guess you want me to keep the wheels for awhile ,huh :p you know keep them safe :D:p

[gun]

so I guess you want me to keep the wheels for awhile ,huh :p you know keep them safe :D:p

Steve your a good man looking out for my wheels like that but right now I'm likea teenage girl waiting on her first car:eek::eek::p

[hammer]

Who cares if the truck has a million lights on it as long as it looks bad azz. Crap my tractor and triler has over 350 lights on it and I am still adding more Cluck Cuck baby. It is all about the attitude the paint and chrome help a little bit. AWSOME rig can't wait to see it all lit up.
