Silverlade 2.0 (Finally updates!)

[imnotmikal]

I am closing this thread. If you have any further questions or comments about the silverlade, please PM. Unless I open a new thread by the time you this message. Then just post it there.


Ok, so I've been out of it for a while, and went to out the Chesterfield to the hobby shop and saw a good Escalade model I wanted to use on this. Its a EXT model. Heres a pic of it from Tower Hobbies, I couldn't find the box, my room is really messy.




so here is what i have.

I cut off the whole front end of the silverado cab, right at the front of the door. I cut the same piece off of the Escalade, and they seem to fit pretty good, I just have to get some putty to fit it.

The tape is temporary, obviously.








and heres the rims im gonna use. and I think I have an idea for the duallies (scroll down for the truck I am modeling this after. I am doing same paint job.)






edit - Now I have to work out the rear end, I am trying to get the Escalade taillights, and I am going to put the tailgate from the EXT on it too, so the only way to tell it is a chevy is the small emblem on the side.

that is gonna look so awesome when its done, i saw the pic of the dually on the other thread, looks good so far, keep us updated

[imnotmikal]

i am trying to do this paint job, and get duallies. i have an idea for them.

[noturday]

looks like ur truck is a single cab tho, are u gonna extend it? and u should deffinately make a cowl hood like that

[imnotmikal]

yea mine is a single cab, well now anyways, it was an extended, but i dont have any money left, and cant find anything to make an extension for my chassis, so i chopped it to make it fit.

im just gonna paint it how it is in the pic, but with out the second set of doors, of course.

[mini-z drift]

thats gonna look lamokish, as in sweet !!!

[Darkmagik]

I like it personally im not that much of a fan of low riders but it looks like it is going to be a good looking outcome.

[imnotmikal]

im not gonna make it that low, just that body style. if i can get it, i will put it low.

[imnotmikal]

sorry if these posts are too close together, if they are then MODS (NOT OTHER USERS) please tellme.

well anyway, UPDATE.

Ok so, i think i figured out how to put the Escalade tail lights on it. I just need to trim them down a little bit and get some putty.

sorry, the pics dont have flash because when i used flash, it lit up the white parts so you couldnt see anything.

[noturday]

are you using EXT tails? or escalade tails, cuz theres a HUGE difference

[imnotmikal]

im using Escalade EXT tails.
