Sounds like you'll have a good looking and good running truck on your hands.

the side plates are already done, but you could have integrated the sway bar mounts into those plates, all one piece.

looks really good!

That looks really cool. I think the blue looks good. It adds just a little color to the chassis.

We are both VW fans and usually have the same input on stuff. Everyone should listen to us. :lol:

Yep, I agree.

:lol:


(It's hard to ignore the VW influence on most of my stuff...)


But seriously,

Someone's got to start manufacturing carbon fiber accessories like this for the Blackfoot, Monster Beetle, Frog, etc.

It looks fantastic.


This one comes to mind too: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=28623
