Default My New Bod for LST

Just finished my second attempt @ painting. Spent many hrs on this yesterday. It's far from perfect but I am pretty happy with the outcome. Also threw in a pic of my RB Mod Collari .30 I got back yesterday. Let me know what ya think

Enjoy [8D]

Thanks!

I had planned to put a blackwidow internal decal on the roof. Ordered it 2 wks ago and still has'nt showed yet. [:@] I got impatient and wanted to get it done. This would have looked much better IMO. I think it could use another layer of flames on the hood also. I was kinda goin for a dark sinister look. [>:]

I was just thinking about painting an MGT body for my LST but was wondering how it would look on the truck. Yours looks fantastic so it's a go for me as well.

Yep the bod. is from an MGT I saw one in a mag. that a guy had painted silver and liked it.

The titanium arms have been great. I have put the truck through a few beatings and I know for sure I would have broken the stock arms @ least twice, probably more. (knock on wood) I have had no broken parts since installing them. I did lose an aluminum shock mount bushing, but that was my fault, forgot to blue locktite the screw. I got lucky and had something I could make a new bushing from.

RB mods claims the engine will run cooler, will have the same power as my old motor @ 1/2 to 3/4 throttle, and will get better fuel economy. I will probably wait before installing the eng. I want to run my other .30 for awhile longer and see how it does.

If you want more info here is the link [link=http://rbmods.net/home.php]RB Mods Home Page[/link]
