| Scale Blazer build up
Well kinda, its already together. Only took me a few hours. Basicly I bought/traded to get a chassis/body and some parts from a buddy. Added an axial tranny, and axles I had laying around. Some beadlocks and tires from another project I parted out, along with the rooster and lathe from that project. Heres how I got the chassis Quick little mock up with all the old stuff removed. Started cleaning up the body panels and chassis with the sand blaster before I redid the center so that I could bolt on the Hot racing tranny plate, tranny, side plates to bolt everything onto. Now its a roller. Its now together and running. Maybe Ill have some action shots soon. I had to order some aluminum parts so that I could correct the steering upfront. Since the front links are so short I had to rotate the pinion up and that made my steering suck. So I have the clockable axle Cs on order and figured I might as well put on some aluminum knuckles while I was at it. |

It looks to me like the front is narrowed. Am I correct? Do you have any pics of the grille and how it was narrowed? I really like it, this build has a lot of potential.

ITs basicly a tube buggy that has skins on it. There is no grill. Im tempted to buy one and a tailgate and put them on. Im just waiting on some ebay auctions to end. I did put a cowl on the hood to hide the blower hole.

I wouldn't worry about a tailgate but a grille would be nice. I have a Clod body that I'm trying to figure out what to do with and you may have inspired me.

Saw this thing in person today and it is pretty darn cool. Awesome concept. I hope to see it all dialed soon.
