  • River Beast has a new look!!!

    Well... I just got done re-priming her today... but didn't finish the top yet. This is the paint scheme I will be using for the real paint... just wanted to get some opinions...


    Thanks...

    If the sheer massiveness of this rig doesn't catch the looks the paint job sure will! Love the paint scheme! This gives me some ideas for mine. Hey, I have a 4 ft step ladder if your wife needs help getting in the beast. So when are we gonna see this rig featured in a mag? I was suprised not to see it at skyjackers site.

      Wow! it looks pretty good, but I would have went a little higher on the yellow to go with the curves of the Wag. I will call you to explain what I mean. It does look good though!

I'm picky I guess...maybe I should... maybe after the 39's are on for good.

                    Well done Todd!

                    I was planning on following the same contours on my rig when I paint it between X-Mass and New Years.

                    Except that the bottom of the truck will be painted with black Durabak and the remainder of the truck will be Allis-Chalmers Orange.

                        Nice look Todd. Can't wait to see it finished.
                        Wingo,I kinda like the tractor colors. Ford blue is nice on all kinda trucks. The Massey Red would look great on my J10. It is that weird red/orange. We decided it is the color of a tomato so we named her after one of those pear shaped tomato varieties--ROMA. Nothing wrong with AC orange either, don't get me wrong. I'm just not sure whether to call mine red or orange or rorange

                        Todd, I have to admit, I would have never thought anything called the RiverBeast would have such a cool looking paint scheme. This probably would be justification for another FSJ purchase and a full camo/mud/gator look wouldn't it ? At least then you could make it look "Beasty" LOL
                        Good work and let's see more pictures.
