Well unfortunately this won't be making it to Montana. I just have way too many things that need to get done, and we aren't even talking about this rig. If I could work on it for the next 3 or 4 days I could do it, but i have parts to build for distributor orders, protos for some new parts, and every day life stuff. So I'm gonna scab together my cherokee to compete with. Bummer is I have to rob some parts from this little guy to make it happen. So it will probably be a little bit before it gets done. It will get done though. I'm in love with this little guy. I can't wait to get it together and go crawl the piss out of it.

This rig is too cool to rush the finish anyway Have a blast @ montana wish I could be a part of it!

oh man, I was waiting for the final pics of this Geo with all the tubework painted and whatnot to be posted up any day now. Sounds like you got your hands full! Hows that ScoutII coming along?

Yah I was pretty disappointed to Richard. I have all the metal work painted, so I guess I could snap a pic or two of it.
The scout is coming along pretty well. You see the pics noob posted up of the body on pirate? It's gonna be a cool rig. I literally have 8 different things on the way to me now for that rig, a whole list more of stuff to get.

Lol, wouldn't that be something. Lower my tray table, pull out my little crawler and some tools and start working on it. My luck some other passengers would think I'm building a bomb and try to take me out.

Only if you had a copy of the quran next to it and were reciting god's prayer in Arabic.

Well Novak is covering it, and already sent me out a replacement. Prob show up tomorrow actually.

I decided I'd at least post up the pics of the metalwork painted. I painted it all hammer tone black. I like that textured powdercoated look.


Here's the rear bumper with the filler plate I was talking about.

Nice metalwork , cant wait to see it finally done ,been following the build , and loving it.

So am I a member of Team Slow A$$ Builders yet?

I've had a few people poking me about this build lately.

The Axial Northwest Scale Championships are in Sept. I figure if I get back going on this now, I might just have it done in time for the big show.

My dr's appt is this week, so hopefully he will let me back to at least limited work in the shop.

If so, there shall be updates soon

No doubt Ry.
Of course that mainly means you and I have to get things running. We both know Brian always has at least 2 or 3 working scalers going at any time.

[Nissan231]

Now don't get to distracted from your TF2, I want to see that thing run !
I found a motor for ya, give me ring when you want it.

Maybe I should rent them out like Hertz.

[octigonwallrus]

brians rent-a-crawler sounds pretty good. haha

[@tw!ll]

Cool Brian, it's all together at this point. I'm off again Sunday, maybe I can get it from you then.

[Nissan231]

I'll swing by some time on sun. I want to check out that tracker as well.
