Tamiya F-350 Highlift Project
Page 4: Final Photos
This first group of photos shows the rebuilt F350 I made after the
fire. This time I did it in box art colors and left off the fender
flares and racing stripes. It looks pretty great.
The photos below are from the original build before upgrades. 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.
This photo shows the upgraded 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.
