Looks like a hard build. What are you going to do about the rear door and the wheel well matching up?

I'll have to cut the door reveal in the right location and I'm planning on carefully trimming off the fender flare, then moving it forward a bit to be in the correct position. then I'll fill the gap left behind it with styrene. The rear bumper is coming off anyway so the only issue is the fender flare. I'm replacing the bumper with a steel one.

Pablo,
Since this is a charity build and to a good cause I would be willing to donate a bit of time with my Photoshop skills if I can help out with a rendering or something.

Pablo this is just awesome. Great idea. I sent you a PM but I think I sent it on scale4x4. We all know that it will come out great and I am sure it will raise a decent chunk of $$$ for the cause!

great project, killer start. my step dad, and everyone on my real dad's side have type 1 except he and I, fingers crossed for developing it later in life.

I saw the finished renedering and though " wow he works fast" before I read it lol.

I'd like to see a set of the HUSH axles under it when they're done too

My mom got type 2 when she was pregnant with my little sister, who's 36 now.

the *hush-hush* axles ARE planned, I need the TLT internals though...

did a bit of work tonight, chipping away at it. Might continue...its still early yet, lol.
moving the rear fenders forward is going to be easy...




on a slightly unrelated note...
the short bus:


pajero truggy anyone?


checking wheel width...might go wider, looks alright though. This is on my hilux chassis, TLT's and brat wheels.



EDIT:
continued a bit. done for tonight.
body is tacked together. fenders are glued on. the real work starts now...
(mocked up on my brat chassis. wb is 11.5", dead on same as brat.)


nice stance:
