Rckcrwlr's Repurposed "Desert Hauler"

[Rckcrwlr]

So my Laptop died and is heading to Cali to be fixed so I am doing this with my phone... Yikes...

The chassis was sent out to be shortened by a custom Semi Builder then heading to the Powdercoater (MAK Coatings) with the wheels to be done. Hoping that something that I special ordered comes in soon so I can add it to this build.

With it all torn down, it was time to shoot the other parts...

First I dragged that tranny in the paint booth and shot it with a primer especially for this use.



After that cured for 48 hours, I began to lay on the color.

Here it is done....needed a fork lift to move it. Had to borrow one...but will be looking to buy one soon.



While the fork lift was there, I lifted the rear tandem rack into the booth to shoot it...primer then paint.



Was able to get it to the garage before they came to pick up the lift.





Now it's waiting for the chassis and other parts...and if my buddy comes through with the other part...this will be one wicked rig.
