Say hello to "CHAMPAGNE WISHES"
Well, well, well, here is my Cascadia, "CHAMPAGNE WISHES". I'm getting this ready for Indy, and moving along pretty good. I stretched the frame 4", and cut the skirts down that goes along the bottom. I also dropped an LRP truck puller motor for more torque and to slow the truck down. I am going to add full aluminum fenders above the rear axles, and I got lucky enough to buy two of FGD's storage boxes to mount on the frame. When I get my gloss clear coat pearl, I can finish the body. And I'm painting the frame metallic red. OK, here are some pic's.
      I forgot to mention, I'm putting a 48' scale spread axle flatbed behind her. Thanx for looking, Big John

Re: Say hello to "CHAMPAGNE WISHES"
Looking good John, hope to see it at the show. I'm glad you stretched it, Tamiya did a nice job on this model except for the frame length. With all of them we've run through our shop I've never seen one with that size cab be that short.

I almost left it stock length, but I couldn't leave it alone. And you are right, Tamiya did the truck justice, except for the length. Big John

Re: Say hello to "CHAMPAGNE WISHES"
It's been a while, but I wanted to show the truck almost done. I need to tidy up the wires, put larger storage boxes on, mount the c.b., and I think she will be done. The trailer will have LED's...I need more
 Here are some pic's.     Thanx for looking, Big John

Re: Say hello to "CHAMPAGNE WISHES"
John I personally hate the generic fleet trucks that seem to cover the roadways now a days, but you did what usually isn't done. Turn a run of the mill cookie cutter fleet truck into a stand out owner operators style rig that draws attention and looks legit. The trailer looks awesome too. We need some pics of that baby hooked up. Great job big man.

I didn't want this to look like a fleet truck, and as most of you know I like to be different. I will try for some outside pic's with the trailer hooked up. Quote:
I didn't want to go crazy with the stretch, so 4" I thought looked good.Big John
