Okay, now what you do is chop the cabin, section the floor so it sits lower on the frame, and drop the whole thing to the ground  Really loving that cabin though, I'd keep it just as it is, a lot of the ACVW guys use wax to keep their

Mooecow posted:Yea, I am going for a full respray. Yea, if I didn't have to do all the patches I probably would have left it alone. With all the patches it would have looked terrible. If you had the talent (or time) you could've quite easily blended in any patches with the original paint, though there really is an art to it.

Fayez Butts posted:come on, it still sucks. You've got like three different fonts there -- including arial which is design blasphemy -- and everything's been stretched/skewed to some awful degree. And that's not even mentioning the terrible kerning or the fact that it looks nothing like the original.

Yeah I've pulled apart running engines in worse condition than that (Granted, it was a VW aircooled and it was only barely running ...).

Skyssx posted:Agreed. Patina is like selling someone on a slap in the face being a beneficial medical procedure. If you had an original Winchester 1898 shotgun that had been wiped and oiled daily and stored in a nitrogen filled safe, and one that got a "patina" sitting in a barn, the one that was meticulously cared for would be worth far more. I'm not sure what you're going for there but you definitely got your analogies mixed up. Pretty sure that the winchester with the patina would be worth more than the one that once had patina but is now mostly new parts. Though this thread isn't about any of that, it's about what Mooecow wants to do to his truck and doing a drat good job of it. I HATE CARS fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Jun 18, 2010 |

Detroit Q. Spider posted:Seeing this makes me really, genuinely mad. There is absolutely no need for every vehicle on the road today to be monstrously huge outside of "MY DICK IS BIGGER THAN YOURS" syndrome. For gently caress's sake, we have sports cars that are almost as tall as that truck now. I think you need your eyes checked.

Detroit Q. Spider posted:I'm not arguing that people don't want big vehicles, the problem is that it's an ongoing arms race that forces ALL vehicles to get bigger so they don't get run over. Yes, bigger vehicles are "safer" insofar as the smaller vehicle is the one that gets screwed. So with every passing year they get bigger and bigger in a constant game of one-upsmanship. You have no idea what you're talking about. Shut the gently caress up and let Mooecow have his awesome thread.
