nice bed cover its looking pretty good. dont ask a mod to delete it just keep posting it. your doin a pretty good job on it so far, how low are you gonna have the truck sitting? and a dark purplish i dont think would be too bad

thanks, lol i just relized this is the first xmod project i've posted on here :o im going to try and make it as low as possible and still have full steering, im not so sure about color yet, but i really like this car

why not just combine it. drop the body as low as the first on and paint it the second one?

thats what i was thinking, i just fell in love with this one, but im still not sure about color

yea i like the darker blue alittle better then the lighter one dont just keep lookin around too much now, you might never decide then.

lol i take you know from experience?

all comments welcome! :)

OOOHHH pegasus hobbies 2 definitly

none of those rims. and do not under any circumstances put that wing on a mini truck it will ruin the look

lol ok, so what do you think i should use?

I like the second rim choice you posted.
I agree with okoye- NO WING :)

ok lol no wing

yes exactly, lol its never fun. and i have to agree no wing and the second rim choice.
