well having stu around can have its downsides. he always has cool scratch built bodies so I figured I would give it a try myself.. I know I wont be able to do it in a week like him

I plan to end up with something like fordzuki's truck or mouser

Awsesome start. I cant wait to see this finished. I love all the custome /scratch built bodies. I wish I had the talent and patience to do something like that.

romulus22 · 08-22-2009, 08:06 PM

looks like a nice start. are those plans on your table for the build your making? and are they to scale?

there prints off of a blueprint sight. and yes I had nickrummy scale them to 1/9 scale. the blueprints had no real measurements so I had to find those and work it out that way..

The frame drawing is the lube points from the manual which is also scaled to 1/9 now.. I hope it comes out half as good as your jeep did.

so more progress.

If I can get the center tunnel done this weekend I will be pretty happy..

sloppy · 08-23-2009, 09:31 PM

todays progress got way more done then I thought I would

fire wall is all buttoned up..

dash and center tunnel started need trim work and dash needs a bottom made that will have to wait I want to add lights for dash cluster

and I got a pretty good start on trim work

going to start working on the ribs for the bed and more trim work maybe front fenders..

Thanks
Well I scaled it to 1/9 scale so width should be a little under 5 11/16" and total length bumper to bumper will be almost 14".. I would guess the tub is around 9" long but never measured that :?

pretty soon scratch building will be the norm seems like there is a new cool one every week..

Inner fenders started.

and started the grill and whatever you want to call the other piece
They still need more shaping and the grill needs all the little letters installed SUZUKI that should suck to make.

i love watching these bodies come together from scratch

Looking really good so far.

I always have to, it is even better doing it yourself

starting to look like something

windshield is on temporary I plan to hinge, but I want to start bending the cage up and need the windshield on for that.

started on a little detail work on interior.

romulus22 · 08-29-2009, 09:50 PM

really coming together

what running gear you planning on using.

sloppy · 08-29-2009, 09:55 PM

MRC axle's, a RC4wd disrupter Tcase, and I think a bane bots 370 planetary GRU.. I dont know if I will leaf it or link it thinking leafs at this point..

you should do a cj7 leafed.

I was considering a CJ7 and had started on a tub.. but decide to do something no one had done yet

I am doing 2 of these the tin top will be leafed for sure..

LeDevil · 08-29-2009, 10:53 PM

Wow! This is turning out really nice

sloppy · 09-01-2009, 10:51 AM

a little idea of what the axles will look like under it.. no other updates just been sanding

I will have more offset rims then what is currently on there..

romulus22 · 09-01-2009, 05:48 PM

MGCrawler · 09-01-2009, 07:46 PM

LeDevil · 09-01-2009, 08:20 PM
