Here's an update...the body of the truck has been taped,primed and shot with color. It's a duplicolor met red. The undercarriage has been shot with satin black along with the chassis. The front grill along with the rear bumper was shot with ALSA Mirror Chrome. It took a little bit to get the hang of shooting it but I'm happy with the results. It's a little tougher than Alclad.
The camper has also been primed and I'll get to the main color(OFF White) with in the next few days.
Detail painting is up next along with a few touch-ups on the body. I'll let this GAS out for a few days and then rub it out a tad. Not to much though as this is a working road track. Kept clean but far from a show Truck. Here are a few pics for a look at where it's at...

The engine is painted and mounted in the chassis. Plug wires will be run next. The front pulley system is drying and will be attached probably wed or thurs. The Body of the Camper was shot an OFF WHITE this morning. I won't mess with that for at least 3-4 days. I want it to completely GAS out before I handle it. The body is pretty much gassed out and that will be touched up in spots and then rubbed out a touch. Here are a few pics of the engine...Thanks for looking in folks.....

Well...this truck is up on ALL 4s and ready for the camper. The tonnaeu cover is on there just for the update pics. The side mirrors and the rest of the chrome trim will be added last. The CB and Radio Antenna's are made and will be mounted then also. Here's a few pics of the interior and Truck. The interior...

Hey Crash...man...it's good to hear from you. Thanks for the compliment bud...the camper is just about finished. I'm putting the windows in tomorrow and then the curtains. The running lights go on after that along with the license plates and antennas. I'll post pics when that's all finished...should be soon... Then...it's on to the Race trailer and car...Oh yea...

Well...this part of the RACE TEAM is finished. Now...it's time to build the Sprint car and then the trailer. I think I'll probably be building both at the same time. Here are a few finished pics of the truck. The Sun peeked out from the clouds just long enough to get a few pics.
