Looks great man. I have the same wheel/tire setup and love it.

I'd like to see some more pics of the interior and rear bumper!

Thanks y'all.

I got some more little things to do to it. Need to install the lights, and some exhaust I am working on. But, it sure is a little challenge to drive with the wheel base and all. Quite fun.

Next up , is converting my SCX10 to a Bronco body. I am all about the Broncos!

It looks like my 1:1 did in 1973 when it was first bought What paint color is that. I want to build a cc01 stock tribute to my 1:1 when it was new.

I forgot to mention in my first post to this that the last pic threw me at first I thought it was a real one you were using for inspiration...LOL. Are the marker lights stickers, light buckets, or painted?? They look like light buckets and lenses.

The paint I used is a Lexan Ivory paint. and lexan white. I also used some cheap wal mart primers as well. It is painted on the outside and inside.

The front lenses are from the Tamiya Bruiser. The rear lenses are some reflectors I got and sanded down. I then put some of the stickers from the EB kit on them.

The interior is some styrene and some seats I threw in quickly. I haven't finished the dash yet.

Got the winch working, now the lights are almost complete .
