RCP57's first King...

I like your rig. Very realistic.

A lot of the times when I make parts it takes me more time to make the fixtures than it does to make the parts.

My problem when I want to make the part again I forget where I put the fixture.

Great looking truck!! Both of the shorter bumpers look the best to me. Most of the bumpers that I see are painted black. This would make a very big difference in the look of the bumper. ?? for you- what are you using to make the notch for the frame in the bumpers?

I like the drop down bumper if you are going for a more custom look for sure. But the shorter plate painted black would look killer too for that work truck look

Thanks guys. I just use my bandsaw to cut out the notch for the frame. Not the cleanest way to do it but it's the fastest way with the tools I have.

I got the box back from the powder coaters today so I painted up the mounts and stuck the truck together for some photos. I am still waiting for some stuff to come in the mail that will make it run but I wanted to see what it looked like. The color I chose turned out to be a little different than what I imagined but overall I really like the powder coat. It hides some imperfections and doesn't show finger prints every time I touch it like the aluminum does.

Let me know what you think!


















Thanks for lookin!
