Gee. For being a junk truck, it looks as good as any other stock Tamiya I've seen.

You should have beat the body up some. Make dents in it with a hot soldering iron to make the plastic soft, then push it in by hand. I'm surprised you put a drivetrain in it too. I think I would have left it a dummy.

When I say JUNK TRUCK you have to know all of the parts were left overs from other projects no bearings all bushings and some are even plastic. I must say that the truck held up better than I could imagin even after puting it on it's side about 40 times and multiple runs over the ramp with the trailer it still drives as good as the day I put it together. Scott must have pulled this thing around with his towtruck for hours and for the record Scott did the most damage when he drove it off the bridge he broke an exhaust stack tip off but it was funny to watch.

Aw Travis... why do you do body work and paint, on your junk rigs? That's a pretty cool cab!

Thanks the cab is all scratch built. I like for the truck to look good to start with then it will look wrecked as it takes on damage.
