There was a hillbilly pro wrestler looking guy at Wal mart I saw. Maybe I will, nothing is more scale then a driver.

I did a build for Rick already.

Pretty electric color, might need some grease stains to tone it down a bit later.

Bent the chassis rails today out of 1/2 square tube stock. Used my benzomatic propane torch and bench vice. I just started bending the tube with the heat and a little force.
[Image: DSC01687.jpg]

I then cut the tube down the middle with my bandsaw spliting it in two.
[Image: DSC01692.jpg]

Ended up with two identical chassis rails.
[Image: DSC01696.jpg]

Got a good start, I made the chassis rails too long as so I can cut them later.

Painted the body today and I must say it looks just like I wanted to.

First I sprayed the inside with Tamiya red brown.
[Image: DSC01745.jpg]

I used my heat gun and hobby knife handle to push some dents into the lexan. No real wheeling rig has a clean dent free body.
[Image: DSC01747.jpg]

I then sprayed Pactra sprint white and covered it with outlaw black.
[Image: DSC01749.jpg]

I then painted the body Pactra chazoom Teal. After it was dry I went crazy with a scotch brite pad and dremel wire wheel.
