Painted it black, got a Titan front clip and lifted the body. Got some tires for it as well, but I don't think it's going to work out.. need to find something different.

Sorry for cell phone pics, I still haven't found my digital. :(

The tire under the F-150 is the ones I thought about using, but I don't think they will work out.

Not a fan of the blue still on the grille, but the rest looks good.

Try and find your digital camera and take better pictures. The cell phone pictures don't show the quality of the paint that well.

Looks good in black. :nod:

Well, I didn't try to make the paint perfect because it's my beater and I didn't like the blue. It has two runs on it, but they aren't that bad really. The paint actually turned out really well, I love it.

The blue around the grille, not sure if I want to leave it or not. It's kind of a subtle little thing, maybe your mind will change if I find my digital.. if I don't find it I guess I'll have to buy another one but man I scored a great deal on that one. $130 for a Canon A620.. **** that was a good camera, took GREAT pictures.

You can see the F-150 stands taller than a titan(psh)!!!
The color looks like it came out perfectly,
Maybe add a lil' more detail, like the grille is still blue.

Taller than I thought they would be, I'd have to lift the body more and I'm not sure I want to. I think I'd need to upgrade my steering servo too, not sure.

snowboi, the funny thing about that is I could lift the Ford more.. I could turn the Titan clip over and lift it more, but it was too high when I had it like that. The Titans clip is already flipped. :lol:

Now, I could use the F150 clip and make it like this again:

But, that looked good with the tires that were on it..

Also, thinking about painting that blue spot around the grille, I still need to finish up the headlights too.. they aren't glued in and one is missing a lens. Just a couple things, but nothing much.

Hey, how is that f-150 working for you?

Working pretty **** good. Nice and strong, crawls over anything within reason. I love it man, you did a great job.

Edit: Hey, are you still doing work on Xmods? I'd still like to take you up on that offer for the Camaro once I can get the stuff. Still haven't had the extra cash to get that stiletto chassis and stuff. Also still might want you to do a motor for the Titan like you did the F-150.

I only work on prior customer's xmods, no one else.
You are lucky:)

Awesome. I hope to have you do something in the near future. We'll see how it goes.
