| Hey whatsup guys? I worked for a couple hours shaping some td trucks today and think I made a pretty good improvement, I painted the baseplate and I think they look awesome. They arent 100 percent even on both sides I got to eager to post some pics for you guys haha. Anyways give me some feedback! |

| How do you shape em? I've always wanted to, but the drill I have didn't work, and my sandpaper doesn't really get an accurate shape. |
