It looks bad ***, I'm with dabears the lights look awesome. I'm very interested in seeing the battery boxes. The polished tops on the full fenders is a truely unique look.

Black paint with lots of polished metal always looks nice Question for you- how did you remove the anodizing from the frame rails? Tamiyas black anodizing is a pain to try and remove Or did you use custom frame rails?

thanks for the compliments . i was a little unsure about the fenders at frist but with the truck mostly together they look ok .
dabears i'm glad you like the lights because they sure were a pain to wire all of them and i plan on about 40 more lol .
BRICKNICK i should have the battery boxes sometime this week i'll post a pic as soon as i get them installed .
tc1cat the rails are custom
