Re: c20 rebuild to custom
Love the imagination in your build.
The truck will be a thing to enjoy when you get it done. What are your plans for the body?

Re: c20 rebuild to custom
Nice attention to detail. Careful you don't overdo the green from here out, or you may end up getting sick of it, and cheapening the build

Re: c20 rebuild to custom
not really a fan of people painting frames any color but black, but i have to say, the combination of black and green parts really makes it stand out, looks great! what color is the body going to be? green? black?

Re: c20 rebuild to custom
Are you going to keep the original color combo on the body?

Re: c20 rebuild to custom
Well I think its time for me to chime in on this new build thread. Having seen this truck in person, I can tell you that his attention to detail is absolutely flawless and encourages me when I see a kid with such great raw talent getting into this field of work. Looking forward to seeing this come together, can't wait to see the black paint job.
