Hi being a newbie ive sorta sat on the sidelines ive read almost every post in here and ive come to the conclution that i like it alot

anyway back to the truck its a rpm i picked up on fee bay a couple of weeks back someone had tried to dye it blue and failed it was a funky sorta grey i tried every idea to get it back to white but in the end had to go black .
i have some more shocks on the way original hard body t2s and some new wheels and tires the body is a basher body and will do for now.
ant the last pic is where i spend about thirty hours a week

that thing looks great compared to how it looked on fleebay a few weeks ago. post up an original pic before you cleaned it up so everyone can see what you started with if you can. i had my eye on this one back when it was listed.

Its looking great!
I'll be starting a similar build thread... maybe tonight!
I just got a tub truck with the same body and shittier body paint job.
My first truck too.

I can't believe that's your first truck and your hobby room looks like that!
Have you ran it yet?

I was watching that one too. Had I not bought a bunch of other crap that week, you'd have paid more for it

Looks like it cleaned up real nice, great looking truck.
