ok.. the scheme to this body.. some old use beat up bronco.. some primer, a big ol racing sticker on the side.. with a BIG blower on it.. :D with a cow boy and his ol lady taking it for a ride..

the wheels are Proline OutBack welds, with road rage tires with savage-central wheel adapters..
 
that looks pretty sweet.. did you paint the flames?
 
Unfortunately, no. They are XXX-Main decals. I have no airbrush and I'm not very good at artistic stuff. I just went with a basic black, white and silver paint and decals to detail the rest. I have managed to already scratch it up pretty much :shhh: I'd like to get another one of the Bronco bodies and paint it pretty much the same and put away for when this one is ready for the trash.

For CRSMP5:
Not bad for a camo style paint job. Don't take this wrong but I think you might regret cutting out the sides of the rollbars. That is going to create a really weak point on the body and it will probably collapse or break after a few rolls (that is if you roll it over). No offense, just an observation. If I do a second body I am going to leave more material in the rear opening and possibly even re-enforce the underside of the rear deck section. I did a good endo and the body flexed enough that the rear shocks dug nice indents into the plastic, they didn't break through but close. I didn't even consider the blower because I figured it would be the first thing to get torn off and the scale of it is way too large (IMO).The Bronco body is pretty cool in that it is well suited for the Savage chassis and the size is perfect. It makes the truck look much larger than does a full size pickup body. I'll have to say that you achieved you objective with the scheme though.
 
i did not cut the sides of the roll bar.. only the opening in the back for the engine.. if you look att he mr smoilly close up by the roll bat u can see the lexan still in place.. :) its just i left it clear so it looked cut out..

next it is not really a "camo" look to it.. it is more of a look of a beat up bronco like woudl be on a farm, that needs a dire restore.. primer hangine out, scratches, yada yada.. the green applyed between the ghost ring is a different shade of green like someone tried to patch the work and relized it was the wrong shade, and did not feather it in over all the primer..
