Default Dready's Tundra Truggy She's a Roller 23.07.2009

A New 1.9 Build and i'm going for the unloved Tamiya Toyota Tundra.

Well i hate the way it looks so i have set about it in my usual manner.

Dont need any of that the arches are too round for my liking so they had to go.
Doors stop you looking inside so they went too!
Here's the start of the transmission. A 2speed Electric drill gearbox. This will be mounted under the hood and attached to a transfer box behind the front seats.

Speaking of Seats, Here's two that i made from Styrene.

And also a New Jack for the Back when its needed.

Talk about going overboard. Can't wait to see it done. I'm guessing this will have a full interior as well.

Nice work so far! You alaways do great work so keep it up. I actually like the Tundras, but it looks like your mods will give a more aggressive look. Great job with those seats too. Any idea on tires/wheels or color?
