Evolution of mintruckers?

if it has no fenders and no bed, it really wouldnt be a minitruck. without tucking it doenst look like a minitruck.

I love it man!!!, thats awesome, i think its gunna look sick when its finished.

Now, im no expert on vehicles or anything like that, but i was just thinking, and i dont know how hard it would be to do, but instead of shortening the frame (or even with shortening the frame, why not move the cab back on the frame, closer to the rear wheels. That would really make it feel and look like a roadster, however, i guess you are still going for that minitruck aspect. I dont know, just a thought.

i want it to look like the cab is huggin the motor and frame. like a guy on a streetbike huggun the gas tank or how a chpper frame hugs the motor. im goin for that very aggresive stance. the farther back i put the cab away from the motor the more relaxed it will apear. i want it to have the stance of a drag bike.



i have everything about this truck pictured in my head, right down to the mood it puts out.

thats ok, i wanted to build a chpper but i also wanted to build a mini truck, so i figured id challenge my self and want the truck to look like something else. if the mini truck scene wont accept it it really wont matter to me=) as long as its exactly what i want, im the one whos gunna drag the hell out of it every day=)

man i reckon this thing will definitely blow alot of minds if its done right, i think it could be a tough difference between perfect and arse though..

but just lookin at ur renderings, i can tell u know the exact look that will work..cant wait to see more detailed shots of it!

i guess if your going for a chopper look it has some similarity. to me it would be more of an engine and framework showpiece than a crazy modification. it will take some work to get all of the visible mechanics to look flawless much like they do on a chopper, but as far as a minitruck goes, i just dont see what is hard about building it; if you dont have to worry about fitting sheetmetal over it and making body mods. difficult mods and trick solutions are what minitrucks are all about. dont get me wrong i think its cool your trying somthing new, il be the first to shake your hand when its done.
