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

i hear yah! paint is obviously last, but the frame work could really kill your build if u wait til the end and you are doing a total custom job! good luck bro!    

can't wait to see it painted!  

just a quick "ho hum" post, i got some work done on the interior, i decided i wanted a bench seat for the standard cab, and i couldn't find a 1/20 bench, so i made one out of flat sheet styrene. a mean cold front is rollin through colorado once again, so paint is still on hold!    i couldn't stand it anymore and laid down my caddy pearl white base, not the result i was hopin for, so now more body work before paint!   anyway here's some pics of the scratch made bench....




 

i was thinking of doing the same thing to my hardbody but decided not too. i also laid down paint too soon when it was breezy and screwed up on my 2nd coat and had to sand it and went too far in some places so did body work and mixed paint but mixed it wrong and now it looks like crap  

finally a break from the colorado cold front, got some paint down but still trying to work out the body for paint!!  





also.. made some one off a-arms.. uppers and lowers
 

looks good i like the blue. what blue is that.  
MODELS FOR LIFE

got the frame done finally, only the rear bags need to go in, also finished the interior, but i'm still struggling with the paint!! got some good weather finally, and i'm stuck doing body work!!  






 

nice warm weather in colorado here today, got some more paint work done!!!!  
it's about F'n time!!    pics comin tomorrow, clear is dryin as i type!!    stay tuned!!    

okay FINALLY    my build is done and in time for the dead line!! that mother nature... what a biotch she is, almost killing my paint work once again!! here's Toyin Wit You all done!

looks fing awesome. i doubt im going to finish but if i do we should have a drag contest...  

sounds good, we'll drag for pinks!! lol  what happened i thought u were all painted and ready to slap together?!  

and just for some fun, here's my current 1:1 that i plan on finishing some day?!  



and my fast a furious cruiser that i'm gonna sell to finished the Mazda, i will never do a body kit in Colorado again, as u can see from the pic! G.D. potholes and sh1tty streets!
 

well i was all ready, but i had runs in my paint like crazy. i thought they were in the clear but when i started sanding it it turned out that they were in my base coat so i sanded it to bare plastic, reshot it, mixed the red and it turned out to have no flake and it was ugly. so it was windy everyday and when i finally got the right paint, i didnt filter the paint and it had specks. so long story short, i cand do control arms for ish  

clean and simple - I love it! I haven't looked very closely at the build, but from what I see, hocknberry, I'm definitely liking it. First glance, I like it even more than Pavement Pounder...  

Nice job. Clean with features that will stand out at a mini show, but ready to cruise the strip on a friday night.
