Dont worry, that sammy is quite possibly a favorite of mine already :shock: Best part is, its drivable, and will remain that way since all I am really doing is detail work. I need to order some harris saftey silv so I can build the sliders and rear bumper. Also need to order styrene... damn...I have a lot of ordering to do :x

Indeed it is, my other one is gonna remain as the stocker/weekend warrior whereas this one is gonna be hardcore'd out...snorkel, winch bumper, beadlocks, bigger tires etc.

:shock::shock::shock: when will the madness stop, I am in aw."thumbsup"

man... to think i got socks for christmas... heheh... mrc + xj = something cool

mike nice start but can you sent me one rig?:mrgreen:

S.U.B.S.C.R.I.B.E.D. :mrgreen:

You are a mad man...in a good way! :) Cant wait for more!

Hey I thought you were going flareless??? Your going to make yourself crazy again with those little nuts/bolts!!!. Maybe youll go so crazy that you will just let me have the Atomic Toy...Just throwing it out there

Nice mike, stefan is starting my xj body kit and all my accessories beginning Jan. You started yours just in time. Now i have one more thread for direction.

I cant wait to see it. ive really been thinking of building one like my 1:1. Keep us posted!

Oh yeah mike, this is going to be sweeeet!!! Is that the scaleoffroad xj body? Or is it a custom made? Cant wait for real pics! 8)

Nobody? Really? Nobody else is going to say it?

Fine!

Mike is used to handling the tiny Nuts!

Ok, there its done now. Wheew!

Going to be a fun build to watch Mike, I want to see you get into cutting one of these bodies up though :shock:

Plus, I had the flares since I bought these for the other XJ and just never put them on and now I am to scured to cut that body :lol:

as for the Atomic Toy... ill get back to you after I get the rear flares on :lol:

:lol::lol::flipoff::flipoff: Its gonna be a lot more hardcore looking then my other, as far as cutting it up... if I was BD and had Boyer on speed dial and had a full tube frame under the body I would cut the doors off and roll tube doors....but since thats unlikely Ill have to see what I can do without hacking it up.

More to come peoples, I have 2morrow and thursday off, gotta sand the rear flares (had to fill air bubbles in the resin) then get them semi mounted...then I can start laying some paint if its warm enough.

Didnt get a chance to really work on anything today, but I did manage to get the rear flares mounted...also hit it with a quick shit of OD just to get an idea...
