Hocknberry's "ToyinWitYou" 1995 Toyota std.cab Round 3

okay, so the copyright on the instructions says 1995, so i'm callin it a 1995 Toyota. anyways... heres what i'm starting with, a 1995 standard cab toyota 1/20th scale with 4x4 fenders and bed sides. no frame or suspension like the nissan in round 2, so that will be all a 1 off job!
 

okay, so the one off frame in round 2, killed most of my time, so i'm jumpin on that 1st!! here's my start, i found a stock frame to mock my custom frame up with,



next i'm gonna open the doors, a mod i didn't do, fearing the dead line time, so this time around the time consumers 1st, hopefully i make it!!    

nice styrene work love the kick up looks authentic  

got some motor mounts built for the stock frame, i scratch built them from flat styrene to match the original one on the original frame.
 

got a good out line goin for the "toy'ns" frame

now for some tube work.... stay tuned!    

just a quick update, i've been busy so not much time in on "toyinwityou" but here's the start to some tube work, along with a pic of my failed tube work i had to rip out TWICE now!  i'll get it eventually, i pulled off my 1st full one off frame for the "pavement pounder" near the end of the build, so i'll stay optomistic for now, as this is the 1st task i'm takin on 1st this time!!  

here's the start of the scrap yard, hopefully this will be it!
 

alright, my time has come to get some vacation time in, i should be back by the 23rd. here's my pic post for the week of the 16th to the 21st. now go get some work done guys, so i have to get in gear to catch up!! lol
any way, here's the frame pretty close to done for now, also, i started jabming the doors, see ya'll in about a week!






 

what's up all.... i just got back home from a too fast vacation..... got a couple of quick pics to post.. more to come!
started shavin the rear end in and also the bed floor work!

 

started on the wheel tubs and body work inside the bed.
first pic.... i used a cap from something off one of the wife's makeup something rather that i'm sure to hear about later, but they fit my wheels PERFECT, so i'll take my chances!

got em cut to size to fit the wheels, and bed sides, 1st pic is before i cut it down to fit, next to one that has been finished

here's a shot of both cut down ready to go in

got the tubs in and fit nice and snug


started on mud work on the inner bed walls


 

looks awesome. wish i would have thought of something like that before i went cutting up all my styrene sheets...  

some new up dates ... started shaving the corners, man this was hard to do a round corner with flat styrene sheet! but it worked out nice with little bondo work!


bondo'd corner pics wouldn't load, sorry, but here's a shot of the rear cab filled in b4 bondo

got a roll pan made up and put in with its 1st coat of bondo

since i got every thing cut out to lay rocker on wheels, here's a quick teaser of the body mocked up with the wheels hood and smoothy front bumper

well... i figured, since i opened the doors and i would have to cut up the interior tub anyway... i'll just scratch build an interior out of styrene sheet, here's the start...




also, doing a toyota smoothie bumper and got some tube a-arms cut out and ready to go in and finish off the frame

 

regarding the wheel tubs - that's too funny!
