The Mad Hatter 1950 mud racer

[GBM]

The whole argument about the satin color for the paint isnt really about the color. It is really about me not wanting to get this truck perfectly straight for a "good" paint job. If I go glossy, I will feel the need to make it completely straight and flawless. It is a personal demon of mine and it just bugs me. If it is satin I dont worry as much. Her last one was slick and I got the body nearly perfect for only building it in 3 weeks.

we started with this


and 3 weeks later this was the result

then a week after that



that was actually her very first time she placed in a race. this was a bog pit and no one got through it. she made it the furthest because the truck was able to hit second before the deepest part and she stood on the rev limiter till I yelled over the intercom to let off. the pic with the mud in the air, you can barely see the truck and the mud was about 4-5 feet deep.
