Well 2 projects at once just isnt enough!! The plan is to start with the newbright wrangler then convert it to a unlimited. Also going to make my own chassis hopefully it will come out pretty scale! tires are going to be mudslinger courtesy of RC4WD And I plan on runnin the true scale rims!! and tranny duty will be handled be an R2! After a little cutting  And a little more cutting!!!  Cut out some extensions,1 inch total ...  And now connected to the rear!!   Starting to fill it in a little now , More to come later!!!  |

I like the 2 door unlimited, though the 4 doors are pretty mint too. But I do dig the 2 door, kinda reminds me of the old scrambler. Hmmmm....I think I have a newbright body around here somewhere. Gonna follow this one  |

Looks really good, now get rid of those stickers But you may want to keep the Rubicon stickers that are on the hood. Cut the blue off with a razor blade and put them on the side of the hood. What color are you thinking of painting the body?
