Lookin good

Re: insane 1st build
 

very nice paint job, how many psi did you set for that mini airbrush gun?

Re: insane 1st build
 

I absolutely love the reefer! Gonna have to make one of those someday....come to think of it, someone should make those babies!

Re: insane 1st build
 

thanks chris, I had it set at around 35 psi but I don't have a another regulator at the gun. in my research that is one major item that is recommended.

thanks billy...
I might change the intake design a little and shorten the length a bit but once I get it right I might make a few extra ones.

:update:

lol...finally... yes I got started painting BUT ran into a hugh problem with the primer builder application!! For some reason the 4-1 primer activator mixture kept guming up so I had to stop until I talk to the supplier!! I did get the tractor frame base coat finished though.... mid-coat will be painted tomorrow!

Re: insane 1st build
 

This is looking amazing, I might have missed it, but where did you get your plastic for your trailer roof, walls and floor Panels?

"This is one of my favorite large cars next to mine of course big sexy. Lol. TONY"

The main difference between a "Big Truck" and a "Large Car" is; a Big Truck does what it can, and a Large Car does what it wants.

126happy, those headlight/turn signals are awesome, you knocked it out of the park!
