Holy crap man, this think was awesome the first time around, now it's even better!

To bad the Two Face tires don't work better than they do as they look good on there.

Love the tube work, rear tube fenders and the reworked front bumper.

Color choice is tough. Never been a huge gold fan, but it fits the personality of this rig.

I think you should run the new iroks or superswampers on this rig. so WTF exactly do you have in store for WTF?

Good idea, I still have some heat shield wrap from an old Ford recall floating around in my tool box somewhere, gotta go find it.

thrashed the hell outta it, had to repair a few things, cracked the sunroof patch on a roll over, and kinda wondered why I even bothered in the first place, so I knocked it out.

Got inspired to keep going with this one, so stay tuned.

Here are current pics for you pic hungry folks

-trimmed up a delrin skid to mount the Axial trans to

overall shots with the new fenders, bumper and tires in their final wb setting.

head on shot with the reworked bumper

ColquittCustom405 · 04-07-2011, 12:11 PM

I dont like it.

I love it!

team3six · 04-07-2011, 12:19 PM

Much, much better. I can't even believe how well it turned out.
now kill that gold color and make it Orange or Green or both.

Green with orange tubing?

Looks great! I like those tires on there. They look mean

JWEIMER · 04-07-2011, 01:03 PM

Sick just sick, reworked bumper is spot on

XSRCdesign · 04-07-2011, 03:05 PM

No green, k9popo's was green. Orange is out because I'm not paying royalties to Harley

Thinking arctic camo with grey tube work, or just doing the gold again.

2JSC · 04-07-2011, 03:16 PM

Gold is nice... or purple.

hotwheels000 · 04-07-2011, 04:36 PM

Gold looks great on that rig,that front bumper is screamin awsome....maybe orange would work out

XSRCdesign · 04-07-2011, 07:46 PM

Made up a battery / electronics plate and mounted the winch servo

Siggy · 04-07-2011, 07:57 PM

Liking the nice and clean layout. Flat black with chrome highlights might also look good.

XSRCdesign · 04-19-2011, 05:38 PM

Jury is still out on color, but I am getting closer to having to decide...

Got some work on the new interior today, with the Axial trans I couldnt use the old one.

Made the dash and seat/floor mounts and burned them in.

with part of the floor and the seats mocked up (not sure that i'm using these seats) the Recarros are to big now, and I shaved these from the Hackalac. Maybe a set of these that are not modified will do..

with the body on

doesn't look like much, but I'm down to details now, so thats a good thing.

ColquittCustom405 · 04-19-2011, 05:59 PM

Nice and clean. Simple too.
