Project '99 Silverado

[snowboi1289]

This project doesnt mean alot to me,but I will keep it for a while,hopefully I'll like the style it should be,but I dont really know yet.I havent yet mounted the bed on the cab ,because I might do some body mods,for off-roading and muddin'.
I need to have some wider wheels on it,so it'll go through the mudd and the loose dirt with ease.I have a couple mods that I'm going to do,that is kinda a secret,until I get this project completed,then I'll tell everybody everything.
I dont know if I can post up current pics on this forum,because I have my own forum I need to run.I have not done anything to the truck body,besides gluing the front bumper,but more updates to come.
All comments are welcome.

The pictures are kind of blurry, but from what I can tell its an unpainted truck.

Looked at your forum, looks kinda lame, post your pictures here so I can see it when it's done.

[texan_idiot25]

Can't wait to see more of the truck.

I didnt say all comments of my forum is welcome,I said for the truck body,duhh..
and its kinda easy to tell that the body is unpainted,just from the stock modle body white..I'm sorry bout the blurry pics,Im having trouble with focusing the picture perfectly,Ill try to get some better pics,and replace them.Im sorry if I dont post up the new updates and stuff,but Ive got my own forum to run,sry..

Can't wait to see more of the truck.
I kinda wanted a S-10,like yours,but I settled for this body,the body is really wide,so there will be major mods..

[Surgeon]

I'm saying I can't really tell what's going on. I see the body, on the xmod, but I can't tell how the wheel spacing is or any of the details like that to comment on and give advice/kudos to.

Try taking the pictures outside in natural light, and if your camera has an autofocus use it. Nothing beats natural light photos.

Find a set of rims that you can flip around. Like the NSX rims work great (what I have on my S10). Widens the track width.

Update !!!!

Finally got the body mounted on the chassie,I'll take a pic tomarrow or monday (I'm going to a all day/all night party in Panama City,so no camera right now)I'm going to be getting the body painted by a pro like bondo..

[Titantaw12]

The picture is kinda blurry. But from what i see you have a good start

[Scionbeave]

I'm trying to make a tool box or a truck bed box(thats the reason why theres a small piece ofbrown paper in the bed).It is a working chassis,but the steering servo is kinda stupid.The chassis is not ready at all,I want to do a servo mod,a winch mod,and alot of other stuff to it.Hopeefully you all will be surprised at how it'll look,I'm going to get a pro to paint eveything,prolly bondo or xmodification..
More small updates to come

Nice! What are the things on the sides of the wheels instead of wheel nuts?

[kungpow420]

if I am thinking right the things holding the wheels on are the pegs from the little bikes that are like tech decks. I have used them on one of my cars when I lost a nut at my friends house.

I would,but I dont even have paypal,and there prolly is some at my local hobby shop or RS,I'm not going to buying anything really expensive for a while,I might need to new CB joint for my Maxima(my car),so all the stuff that I get for this thing is going to either be on hold until after spring break(I'm going to go partieing day-in and day-out in Panama City,Florida)..

[snowboi1289]

Update time !!!!!!!!!!

I just got it primed for paint.

in this pic,Its being painted red(I still need to get the other paint,I want it to look like a real muddin' truck,so I'll be trying to find some nice wheels soon,I want the wheels to fit the truck nicely)..

[snowboi1289]

Yes on RCX forum I might have more pics there,because I'm trying to get more folks to join and members there to be more active..

I went to go put the clear coat on the body and it just so happens that I'm out of clear coat,so I'll have to get the clear coat and more paint the next time I get some extra money..

[snowboi1289]

Update !!!
I just got 1 can of clear coat,and 1 can of black paint..I'll be putting the clear coat on in a min. or two,and after the clear coat dries,im going to spray the bed with the black..

[snowboi1289]

Finished the paint,and some of the body parts..
I'll try to get pics asap..

[snowboi1289]

Update !!!

The paint is finished,the windows are done,the body parts are done,and just finished mounting the body again..

The body looks good but need some bigger tires or lower the body.

[blue504life]

i agree completely lower it close to the ground and find some custom wheels for it but the paint looks good nice job

[snowboi1289]

I'm trying tomake some custum tires..I'm not lowering the body,I've spent way to much time to mod it again.I'm going to remove the battery tray,and mount it above the board..

+1, get some irok super swampers from xi.

[Titantaw12]

100%. Looks better with a paint job on it. Good Job

[benoj]

Nice silverado but i also think it could use some slightly larger tires like aoshima super swampers
heres my 99 silverado with them:
