M923 Build updates - new grill, ripsaw tyres (4pcs only at the moment), primed the bed, mounted the side boxes...

my new grill!!... inspired by LaneboysRC... the valueshop pencil holder...
my grill is bigger... so i bought the round pencil holder, cut up the top and bottom and i have a long piece of wire mesh... the mesh size is nice!

front grill now looks nicer. Smile thanks Laneboysrc.. Smile

primed the bed and the 3 bed sides... the wood seems to absorb all the paint.... took me 1+ can of nippon pylox flat white.... sprayed, sanded a little and sprayed again...

fabbed some "S-bracket" to mount the side boxes... the idea is to let it "wobble" when the truck is moving... so styrene should do the job instead of 3mm aluminium bracket... hope the styrene will hold up well... Very Happy

the bed, when the 3 bed sides flips open... can fit my honcho nicely... 
this truck is small... compared to some one's secret project... Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil
