If it was my build I would go with top color on the wheels that's just my opinion. It would set it off. Looks like a great start. Thanks for the update.
Joe, when you go to tape off the two-tone. Make sure you put the cab and the bed of the truck on the frame. That way you can be sure that, when the two-tone transfers from the cab to bed will be even. I had to repaint a truck bed I built for my brother in law. Because I didn't put the cab and bed on the frame. The two-tone was off. I hope that you know what I'm trying to say!
I definitely know what you're saying. I was planning on going by the factory body lines for the paint break. Then, shim the bed on the frame to make sure it matches. Test fitting the body and bed on the frame they look pretty close as of now.
The reorganization of the area looks great. The truck is looking good too. Its currently 6 degrees and was -2 this morning. Tonight is supposed to be colder. Stay warm, Merry Christimas
Great work Joe. Moving right along. Love these trucks. Can’t wait to see it come together. I love wagon wheels on old trucks so…Lol. I’d do them chrome. For that truck I think chrome is the classic look.
Clear over the Tamiya tape 🤦♂️ I’m no expert, but that idea reminds me of the guys who tell their girlfriend “hey, watch this!” It never turns out well, but let me know how it goes 😆 And pick up a scribing tool next time you’re at the hobby store, you won’t regret it.
Thanks Mike! I won't be using the tape as a pinstripe! I did look for a scribing tool, my hobby shop didn't have one. Merry Christmas to you and your family mike!
