I think that there are a few things that guys can get away with thats purple or pink. Thats Semi's, hot rods, and harleys. So i say go for the Purple!

Re: candy purple KW W900A project
 

Purple truck for some reason always look good, but this one look great GO Purple!!!!

Re: candy purple KW W900A project
 

well just to get back on the radar, i built my truck and got her running good except for the fact that I broke the little thing that looks like a trailer hitch on my shift servo, but other than that shes good as far as running goes. My trailer is all built which its the box trailer that Tamiya sells(my cat likes riding around on it). I would post pics but theres no camera around that is available but I will document the customizing and fabricating as its my first real hack job. Just to give you a idea of what Im hoping to go for is a little somthing like http://supershowrigs.com/PhotoShoots...r/DSC07648.jpg

Then make it the nice deep candy purple with the lighter Seminole :D

As far as parts go im gonna stretch the frame first, I have a 6" stretch kit from PMD(wonder if i should get the frame rails instead) among a set of "Bull pipes" and a Texas bumper with the L.E.Ds, I have 2 sets of the under bunk lights which I might tie in, as I also have a extra set of cab lights from them.

Re: candy purple KW W900A project

Well here is my first picture of my little pride and joy, We have a long journey ahead of us. Sorry for the bad quality picture because of those i pods, but I fabbed up some temporary stack mounts from the steps off the old fuel tanks and put my side lights on and the PMD fuel tanks and bumper. I'm still trying to score some polystyrene so i can start shaping this truck and I'm currently waiting to cut the frame for a temporary 6" stretch before I can get my frame rails. This is all for now, might post some more pics sooner or later. Gotta say this little truck has made the better part of last year and the beginning of this year alot more bearable and I,m pretty happy I,m able to be a part of this awesome community.

Now as for the paint..

I,m Still gonna paint it excaly like this one(as much as everyone just loves purple haha) but as a A-Model like my dream truck posted above, Spencer's :P

Re: candy purple KW W900A project

Sorry for the terrible quality pictures and links but I'm having trouble uploading them into here, but I'm back up and going again with my truck after a long absence due to scarce funds. As you can see I'm in the process of a coffin bunk(currently modding the base plate that it mounts to). After hacking it all apart and figuring it out its actually pretty fun being a complete beginner. More to come with better quality pictures!

Re: candy purple KW W900A project
 

Got some more progress done, 6" stretch done and tapered the tail. after I'm finished playing with the bunk I'm gonna move everything back for a hood stretch pretty soon!
