restored blackfoot for a friend
i finally finished my blackfoot project just in time for christmas. this restored gem is going to a very good friend of mine for 25 years of friendship and for starting me in this great hobby. after sorting through a whole bunch of donor parts and some new pieces, this blackfoot has a little of both vintage and modern parts. the shocks are from the re-re subaru brat with the front springs from a ta03 shock set i wasn't using. the brushless motor, esc and radio system are tamiya units removed from a levant that was parted out. the body is the original blackfoot with the decals purchased off ebay from tamkyo-reprodecals (excellent repro's!!!) i think my friend will greatly appreciate this gift. thought i would share my work with everyone. thanks for looking and all comments are greatly appreciated.

thanks for the comments. @oldie- the panel is missing due to the previous owner had glued it in and i couldn't remove the broken pieces to glue in another panel correctly. @srb- thanks and you are already a friend so don't be suprised later down the road if you receive something from me. @ mattb & tamiyaman, thanks for the comments. the blackfoot is a nice truck to own.
