Thank you Manny. Very kind words. I am pretty deep in this build but still am unshure on what im going to do with the rear section. I am sticking with the bed style but want to add somthing back there. Any suggestions are welcome.

How about a Dingo style tire carrier or just plain flat bed with some scale accessories on it

Manny, I am planning on doing a tire mount in the center and some type of rack system for my highlift , tow rope etc. Thanks for the input for the design.

Few bits showed up




I mounted the hub in reverse to get a bit more track out of the mrc.

I have also been working on these

Ooohh are those steel panels? Im a sucker for steel panel protection.

[Bananaclip]

Yes my friend that is steel panels. I need to get some small hardware and a little more smoothing and they will be ready to drill and mount.

[Robotboy]

Very nice



But it'll never work...just send it along to me for disposal

Combo Looks sick!

[Yotapane]

very nice build, im diggin the low and long look

[Bananaclip]

Thank you guys for the kind words and motivation! I have made some progress this weekend.

Rear section progress:







Start of the truss work






There has been a ton of work involved in these trusses and I am only 1/2 way done with them. I have to say I am pretty excited about how they are turning out though. They are super beef and should add some weight and strength down low where it is needed!

You going to add those supports from the main hoop to the bed rail we talked about, looks sic so far

Todd, looking at it i think I will try the drop downs. I will try a few different styles and post up some pics before I burn them in.

[Bananaclip]

I just found this wicked cool website with amazing scale hardware. Ordered some up for my steel panel's. Scale Hardware, the world's finest scale model fasteners

[aztitan]

i wanna see some panel on shots

[Bananaclip]

Me to!

[Bananaclip]

A bit more progress.

Added servo mount/electronics tray/interior mounts



Front panhard mount



Rear panhard mount



Trusses




Body armour mocked and ready to drill int the body. As you can see the armour will provide a slight wheel base stretch.

Guys and gals, between building my 78 triumph, soccer, and life I am going to put this little jewl up for sale in the for sale section. I will include everything for a complete roller and a hh mini tourqe master. If you are interested shoot me a pm. I put a ton of thought in my builds and everything is built from 4130 chromoly. So.......................Basically all you will need to do is paint the body and add your interior.
