Re: Project: Lloyd (Tamiya King Hauler)

Darwin would like you. Definitive proof that evolution works!

No harm in changing your mind, you are just fine tuning the look and style that you want and sometimes that is only figured out by trial and error. Nice work man.

Thanks! I like the large car look. I will have to think about the black fenders and roof. I do need to repaint the cab, I have some spot where the bondo shrunk on me.:D

Re: Project: Lloyd (Tamiya King Hauler)

Not to much to update, just painted some detail pieces. I decided not to run after market steps or tanks, RC fund is running dry. I did order a custom visor, and a RUSSISLOUD headache rack and west coast bumper.:D

Here are my parts drying....garage is too cold....8" of snow here is Seattle!:cool:

Re: Project: Lloyd (Tamiya King Hauler)

Did some more work on the truck today. Painted the hitch plate, dash, steering wheel, seats, shocks and tank brackets. I also added more polished stainless on the top of the frame rails. I also used some strong double sticky tape and mounted the 2S 2500mah lipo underneath the bigger piece next to the cab.

Re: Project: Lloyd (Tamiya King Hauler)

That's looking really nice! I can see your reflection, while checking out the shine in that polished deck plate! Ha ha. Something tells me that motor lived a previous life in a rock crawler....probably a MOA.

Got my drop visor in the mail today from Stepside.

Snow is melting, so I got a chance to take some photos out side today.

Re: Project: Lloyd (Tamiya King Hauler)

Re: Project: Lloyd (Tamiya King Hauler)

That kinda sucks about the headache rack. they should have mentioned that it was raw and not polished. the new additions look great!

Re: Project: Lloyd (Tamiya King Hauler)

Amazing, have no more words...

Re: Project: Lloyd (Tamiya King Hauler)

The headache rack will look great on the back of your truck. Not bad. I think that rack will polish up pretty easily. The tool cuts look pretty smooth. I like the visor too.

Re: Project: Lloyd (Tamiya King Hauler)

I can't wait to get my visor. Great job. I like the color you chose.

Re: Project: Lloyd (Tamiya King Hauler)

Truck looked great in person Justin, thanks for letting me take the wheel for a bit.
