2012 Yukon

[59impala]

I'm going to try and make this as close as I can to my Yukon.  This started out as a Police Tahoe RC vehicle.  One of the guys in our club wanted the wheels and that's all he wanted and then he gave this to me and said here, make a Yukon out of it.  So, I've removed all the Police stuff and am making a Yukon Denali grill for it.  This won't be exactly like mine but close enough for horse shoes and hand grenades.    Here are a couple of pics of it so far.

I finally got the wheels figured out and installed.  Last night I got it masked out and today I sprayed gray primer on it.  I will have to sand it and prime again, sand and then spray white on.  After that, I'll spray the white pearl and clear coat after that.  I also got the grill finished.

OK, great work so far. Are you intending to keep this as an RC car? Or are you going to dispose of the electronics and put a regular kit chassis under it?

Well, I'm keeping what you see here but I removed the speaker and won't be using the red and blue lights on top. I will be using the headlights and tail lights. I don't have anything that would fit under it otherwise, so, this is what she gets. I hope to have color on it soon.

Well, after having to repaint this thing because of nimble fingers Dan messing up the body, I finally got it done.  It's more like a cartoon copy of my 1:1 Yukon.  I think the best part of this build is the grill.  That looks pretty right on.  But, I did have a little fun doing this and it was given to me by one of the guys in our club.  I think that it does set a tad bit low tothe ground but that's Ok.  It will set on the shelf and look good.  LOL

Looks good. Is the body plastic and what scale is it?

[59impala]

Thanks, the body is plastic and I'm not sure as far as the scale goes. The tires and wheels are 1/25th scale parts from my parts box. It looks like 1/25th to me, but not sure. This was a radio control toy that didn't work any more and one of the guys in our club gave it to me and he used the original wheels and tires for something else.

P.S.  I'm not sure of what type of plastic it is though.  It's flexible and doesn't feel like styrene to me.
