Are you guys using the top as is, or are you painting it?

Looking for a body swap to a small remote control truck, might be a cool toy.

My Nephew is building mine.....

He does a super job. He even has a miniature paint booth in is hobby room. He uses an air brush.

Wow, nice work on the half cab!

Not matching one of the colors of your originals though?

Is your Nephew interested in some side work? (cut rear quarters, and flares that I can paint white for all four corners). Sign me up. Oh, then I would need larger wheels and tires also, if he has any ideas. Thanks, Kevin

I'd say this one might work, a little pricey though.

Paint

Are you guys using the top as is, or are you painting it?

I painted mine, the paint I chose wasn't exactly 'Wimbledon White' but out of the box is too white in my opinion.

 

[Slowleak]

Mine got a coat of PPG Wimbledon White. I may redo it with a brighter white....

 

[KBUCK1]

Do they come with a half cab top also?
