Tamiya F-350 Highlift Project

Page 4: Final Photos

This thing looks great.  I chose a Tamiya chrome yellow and a gloss clear coat.  I used some stickers that were made for the sides of the bed as racing stripes which worked out great.  I painted the inside of the bed black.  I replaced the stock hard plastic mirrors with rubber that should be more durable, and I added a set of black rubber fender flares from RC4WD.  The only thing I don't like about the appearance is that the amber and red light lenses are stickers rather than colored parts.  This looks fine when they are not lit, the amber looks really fake with a white light behind it when illuminated.  The photos below are from the original build before upgrades.

   

   

   


This photo shows the final version of the truck with the new wheels.




I tried to find a photo of a yellow F350 for reference, and I found this one looks pretty close.
