Re: WHAT TO BUILD

Start with a stock kit, that way you have everything you need, and the stuff you don't use you can sell. I started with a used truck that I disassembled and customized a little bit.

Re: WHAT TO BUILD

Like they say...the new kit would be the best to start with ! that way you will have everything you need to get a rolling rig ! Then you can start modifying it to your taste?
AHHHH I know a guy who can do your Pete body for you? hint....hint...hint lol

Re: WHAT TO BUILD

I agree with the guys...start with a kit, then modify, but have a place for your spare, changed out parts, thus you will have everything you need for your next build..and so on...
