New Era Stadium truck rebuild

Post by ezlovin »

New look for a New Era Stadium truck, donor truck was used & abused. Spent more time grinding the crappy welds, replacing tubes & de-tweaking just to have a place to start. A few of the build photos can be seen at http://ezlovin.zenfolio.com/ I will add some more with the LRP body on later. Alan

That's just ridiculous. Fantastic work. Can't wait to see some shots with the body on.
Are those HPI shocks?
