It looks nice. Is the chassis extended?

[blue504life]

thanks and yes it is, but only by .040"

[Boost101]

Looks nice, good color choice. I would add some chrome knuckle covers. Can't wait to see it finished!

Aww, Xmodkidd beat me to the first post..

It looks like its going to look good.

I know you might already know nut people have already did Escalades. Try to do something really different.

Also, are you going to post this on RCX ??

so its 2 to 1 right now

[imnotmikal]

The black would look better if the Escalade was black, but I think the silver ones go better with a silver Escalade. :nod:

[blue504life]

your right about that, but i think this is a special case where the black wins, but i will always go back and forth with the wheels

[nitemeer]

looks pretty nice

[blue504life]

then maybe a dash and seats

That ESCALADE is by far the sharpest looking one I have seen todate. I have seen a few that could have been really sweet and they were just massacred. The black rims look better they go with the luggage rack and the tint windows, I think the silver just added to much silver to it. Not really a fan of Escalades but wow, I think I would actually take that thing in real life if I saw it:) ;)Awsome work again!!

[stangdude94]

i personal care for the side steps

Sorry man but I think I have to agree with Stangdude:( without them it gives it a much sleaker look I think

[Lancer_Man]

Take 'em off. They detract from the overall car.

Nice choice with the black rims. :D

[amorton94]

i can respect that, there is nothing wrong with a plain looking truck, most of the ones i see, are sittin on 28"+ rims, so there is nothing wrong with this truck
