I may not paint it for a while. I would like to take to a few shows in raw state. Everyone assumes that all trucks are plastic bodied and I would like them to see that most of mine aren't without having to tell them. It will most likely see paint eventually though as I don't have the energy to polish it after every time I touch it.lol I see old pictures of my KW850 and Hayes HD right before they were stripped down for paint and I always think about how cool they looked raw(especially the 850 since it really was all aluminum). I had a vision for both of those trucks though so they needed to be painted in their "company" colors to be full on tributes. "Scrappy" is just a hoarder's special so it can be whatever I want.

Here's a small update. It doesn't look like much has happened but I have spent hours working on the shutters.

I wanted to see what the hood would look like polished so I shined up half of it and the rad. It came up pretty quickly with course rouge and I'm sure it would look kinda neat with some effort but I won't be polishing more... I don't think.lol I don't know if there are too many polished aluminum RC trucks out there? Probably for good reason.

Ok, how's this sound Reg......
Buy me a plane ticket out there, I'll bring all my high tech polishing equipment , set me up in a tent in the compound and I'll make that body look like chrome.....should take 2-3 weeks to finish but it'll be worth it buddy. I promise

Hey man, if you are looking for an excuse to come out you don't need one. Just get your behind out here. We have a spare bedroom so you won't need a tent. No smoking in the house though....

I worked on the truck most of the day today but haven't taken any pictures yet. Hopefully I can finish up what I'm doing tomorrow and then show you guys some decent progress.
