4wd Wheely King
Brand new Imex treads
A piece of 1/2 square tube

I want to build up a leaf sprung truck that looks and work much like the real thing. I want this truck to look like beat up old hillbilly truck.

Dude, that's gonna be sweet!! Scale truck right, since you're using 1/2" square for a frame right, i've got ton's of that square tubing too!

Jim really needs to build this for us... I forwarded the last build around the office and the guys liked it... I said to my co-worker, looks like Jim is building a crawler, my boss who isn't into RC eye's lit up, he needs a thread
Chevy C-10 Wheely King project - bubbaracing - 04-18-2007
+100^^^^^^ I agree!
He said he wanted an old hillbilly lookin truck! Why not have Jim's 2nd cousin Hillbilly Jim do the build, he'd know how them there Hillbilly trucks are done! Git-r-done!

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]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/silverdude/DSC01687.jpg)
I then cut the tube down the middle with my bandsaw spliting it in two.
![[Image: DSC01692.jpg]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/silverdude/DSC01692.jpg)
Ended up with two identical chassis rails.

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

Chevy C-10 Wheely King project - bubbaracing - 04-25-2007

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]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/silverdude/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]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/silverdude/DSC01747.jpg)
I then sprayed Pactra sprint white and covered it with outlaw black.
![[Image: DSC01749.jpg]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/silverdude/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.
