HiLifta-palooza - Clod bodied build

Is that the General Lee hiding back there?

Light colors are a pain to spray because it is very hard to see how well it is covering and all it takes is one small deviation in the over-lap and presto, flow indicators.

RC4WD is the worst. Once they have your money... I have had my share of problems with them. I don't buy anything from RC4WD anymore. Good luck getting that credit from them.

it is....looking for an M02 chassis for it. Going to be a fun ride!

It was my bad on the paint, I wet sanded where the red had oversprayed, but missed a few spots in my haste and the light paint did not stick at all to the glossy areas and just ran. It is fixable though...lesson learned!

Good call. Took 2 e-mails to remind them and I got a credit for shipping for a totally unrelated order for 1/2 of what was owed. I have no idea what they are doing, and not sure they do either. At this point, I'll eat what I paid to ship back the order that never should have arrived at my door in the first place just to avoid the headache, and officially wash my hands of RC$WD (spelling intentional) as well. Tired of the mess everytime I order lately.

Getting oh so much closer!!

Grill came out pretty good I think, not bad for about 20 minutes total. Took care of painting some details, and am down to a few odds and ends. I did re-mount the front bumper, I didn't like it at first but it has grown on me. Have to mess with the mounts a bit, the body is not quite centered over the wheels now, but it's an easy fix. I have 2 different winch options for the front, not sure if I'm sticking with the fakey pro-line or a modded WW2 winch. PL is on there for now.

Use aluminum tape for the window surrounds and door handles, worked GREAT! Corners were a little rough, but very happy overall with how it came out. Looks far better than silver paint.

Have to track down a rear bumper, headlight lenses, and some other small stuff.

(note the hacked in 1/2 JK in the background... got bored with the dremel)

the cal hood looks real! Something I would see on a local's truck. I can say that I live in the middle of ohio- it would just need rust
