[KERRSURF]

Really enjoying this. Whats the budget on this beast if I may ask?


Can you describe the process used to prepare the chassis, the paint looks really good on it, great finish.
What tools, materials did you use to do the prep work?

Bit boring to some I suppose but I like to gather knowledge.


Just a wee thought on the look of the truck, and it's only my opinion so please ignore but I think it would look more balanced with a tray back style chop to the rear of the body, shortened truck bed style, perhaps someone can photoshop it to show what I mean (Yoshie! get working yer magic)

[jetskidavid]

ok ill try chassie was hit with wire bursh on grinder till shiney no paint left at all then degreased
sprayed with primer 3 coats light sand tacked off then top coat 3 coats
and the same with every bit all taken apart front suspention back axel
sprayed different colurs to prove we did not just one colour like most people
budget!!!!
well so far 44"tyres second hand £330
14j rims second hand £150
paint/thinners £100
grinding disks/welding wire £80
metal for chassies£90
engine rebuild pistons,shell.gasket set.head bolts exhaust all oils £450
this is just a rough cost as allways buying some thing

he likes the shape had truck for 7 years
and you can put a big sticker kit on the side

got to finnish it as we got an bighorn to start next!!!!!!
