[dabears]

This is a tease!! I wanna see what your gonna make

[hauler_10-4]

What a tease. Is the color going to be sub-lime green pearl metallic? That's what I used on my pete and love it.

[sgt hopkins]

[SWAGGER]

Those wheels look evil! You just know this is gonna be sick!

[russisloud]

What a tease. Is the color going to be sub-lime green pearl metallic? That's what I used on my pete and love it.

i am teasing just a bit, but i'm just making this up as i go. that is the same paint i will be using on the truck. its also going to be a cabover.

[russisloud]

Those wheels look evil! You just know this is gonna be sick!

the wheels are sick, but i don't know if i'll be using them on the truck or not, they just happen to be sitting in the background.

[SWAGGER]

Is that an 8x8 off road truck in the background? That looks great too.

Man, with those spiked wheels, I am picturing a truck "Death Race" / "Gumball" style of event. Can you picture it? Mental trucks just killing each other for last man / truck standing prize money! Hahahaaaa

[fhhhstix]

the wheels are sick, but i don't know if i'll be using them on the truck or not, they just happen to be sitting in the background.

Are the spikes attached to the wheels?

There's just no end to your creativity is there? For such a simple design you have managed to get a great 3 in one item, a pair of cross members, a pair of mid-bumpers and a pair of tank saddles all in just two pieces. AND they look sweet polished up like that. I for one am well impressed Russ!

Impressive Rig All around Russ


Alfy

[rockNmayhem]

Russ the rig not only looks great but it also looks like it performed very well in the pulling. Awesome truck to say the least. All it needs now is some smoke pouring out of the stacks and it would be a blast.

[Snochaser]

Ben

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Russ this truck is the coolest thing I have ever seen great job and what a power house.

[AzItalian]

[russisloud]

Smoke poured out. Just not from the pipes ;)

[Bigrigger]

Hey Russ, is this the Bone Yard mascot? What an amazing truck! It has all the flash of a show truck, but all the power of a work truck! :D Great job!
