The Reaper QC build thread

[BAD SNAKE]

I noticed when I put the bed back on I may need to notch a section of the bed frame that is right above the rear end shock. It looks like I only have about 2mm clearance. I'll knock that out when I remove the bed to paint it.

When we did the exhaust, I notched the bed frame where the rear end shock is to allow for additional clearance due to how low the truck is

Beautiful work as always my friend. Admittedly have shed a few tears in the retirement of your RC though.... I loved that truck.

 

[6speedquadcab]

What happened to your RC again? Forgive me I'm new...

 

[BAD SNAKE]

Nothing still got it, the family out grew it so I got a QC. Most of the parts are off my Rc.

 

[6speedquadcab]

Love it. It is killing me that mine is not done yet. I can not wait to post all the pics of the work.

Are you taking that bad boy to Carlisle PA this year?

 

[BAD SNAKE]

did a quick edit of this one,

 

[BAD SNAKE]

Did some test fitting, I'm not keeping them polished-its way to much work for me. No more black either time for a different color








I do like this root beer bronze on these lips

 

[Wildcard]

Looks amazing! I like the colors well done.

 

[BAD SNAKE]

i cut the center caps down as far as i could, since i didn't like them tall

 

[BAD SNAKE]

I got busy and swapped motors, transmissions, pedal assemblies, steering columns, engine/tranny wiring harnesses, and pcm's because I wanted the 6 speed in my QC and my other motor is already built.

the black truck is back together and running, just finishing up a few small things with it
