Well guys some of you that are watching the big mike R/C know im also going to build marlins rig...

The time is almost here prolly another 2-3 week before i start it, i have most of the parts i need all i need is a couple extra hundred bucks to get it going... :thumbs:



i also need some help, if anyone has any pics of marlins rig can you post them here or pm me the pics. I need mostly interior pics to see what his interior has for stuff, like cb how many shifters he has etc...

you may be able to take the bob out and then use the part you cut out in the front of the bed.

prolly not because the rear part is not as tall as the front, its just easyer to just get an extra box to cut up lol... also the boxes are only like $25 us..

Ok im getting close to start this after changing my mind 300 times, i still need to order about 300 bucks of parts so i hope to do that in the next few days...


So if anyone has pics of marlins truck from a few years ago i would love for you to pm me them, its when his truck had the full doors, i might do that version and not do an interior but i will prolly do it like his truck is now lol...


so hook me up with some pics please...


thanks kevin...

Ive been thinking today and tell me what you think...


Ok here goes..

1. like mike but with half doors cut... (like the 1:1 marlin rig)

2. like mike but with full doors...  (like the 1:1 marlin rig during winter)

3. like mike but with no interior at all...

4. like mike and have the doors open with full interior and have full doors so i can change them depending on season... (will be tuff)
