Hey Guys,

I started working on the truck I will run at Kelly Motor Speedway, in the Modified Madness race. This is the first video of many...mainly talking about what is it come, and my plan for the truck. Enjoy...

Really loving this build Chris, thanks for sharing the insight with us.
I really need to give this modding a try.

No video tonight because I was just making things fit together today...and that's REALLY boring to watch. But, I am pretty happy with where the track is at...

I would have liked to do a little paint work today, but, it's been raining all day today. So, that will have to wait for another day. Next up is sanding the wheels and prepping some weight...

I'll be adding almost 50 grams of lead, but I should have plenty of room for it...and then, the truck will be about ready to send off.

Chapter 7...

Some more body work...

Photographic evidence that this truck was, in fact, the support vehicle for Racer X's Shooting Star :)
