Since I did a build thread for the last 1830 I did for a customer I did not think I needed to do another but i got some finished picks :D. This truck has been on my bucket list for many years and I have been hording parts to build one now for about 6 years and I thought I had enough parts to get in 90% done so I got started.. I am still working on the logos for the sides thinking I am going to do some beer logos on it just have to decied witch brand now and I am still looking for the rear bumper and shift servo mount but other than that pretty much done..

So here it is I have not polished it yet I did it in Pacific Blue Base/Clear with a very light wrinkle black on all the black body parts.

Hey thanks for all the great comments guys the color is the same real color the snow truck is it is Doge Pacific Blue. I am still trying to find a servo shift mount and trying to find beer logos that will look good but striking out there I know what I want but I cant find it..
