Re: Simple Pete Daycab
Well guys.... I sorta hit a road block... Er... Drove off a bridge last night. It turns out rustoleum paint doesn't like duplicolor primer, so I was left with a gooey mess that would have taken insane effort to fix with sub-par results. Before I threw the cab against the wall and kicked a puppy (just kidding!) I saved the rear panel of the cab to use on the next body, which is already on it's way. I wasn't 100% happy with this body anyway, so mk2 should be even better
This piece was the most difficult part about the build  On a brighter note.... I get my liscence next Friday, although I should have had it in September.... But I was too busy with work to finish up drivers Ed in time

Re: Simple Pete Daycab
That's unfortunate about the paint. You're not the only one who hasn't laid any paint down on a truck! Paint is overrated!
Then again, maybe finishing a truck is too.....

Re: Simple Pete Daycab
Ok, got my new body in today and went to town on it after school
 Hacksaw blade was my weapon of choice  Made quick work of the sleeper  Next I broke out the razor saw to shave the headlight buckets  Then made filler pieces for the roof and headlights     And finally glued in my rear panel  I also slapped on some bondo, but I didn't think you guys really need to see that. I managed to get this done over the course of about 3 hours  Tomorrow: Sanding, sanding and...... more sanding!
