Love it except for the trac bars, I am just not feeling them. I think it would be cool if you brazed up some old school ones http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...%3D2%26hl%3Den |

Nat, Typically on real 1:1 trucks you want a 20* shackle angle

Im using Icing, I think its made by USC? really lightweight and easy to sand. Just make sure that you prep the surface properly, I use 80 grit to rough it up. the down side is that it can get kinda dusty, but its worth it! just got my tenax in the mail today so more updates to follow. | ||

Thanks for the pic Jeff! I still have some suspension work to do so itll help! I got some work on the chassis done, Steering servo is in, Finished up the crossbracing, skid plate and battery location. Also whipped up a fuel cell to hide my esc and reciever. Started on the interior as well and whipped up the start of a dashboard this evening and got the placement of the seats. Still have door panels to do, finish the dash and center console. Not bad for an evenings worth of work!           |

Killer work on the dash, this build keeps getting better and better. I bet you smile when you tell people that it's a clod body. I wouldn't believe it I didn't see the build thread.

Hey Nat, I just came across this build, and all I can say is WOW..! You've got some spectacular styrene building skills..!!. I know its been said before, but its very refreshing to see something other than the typical chevys, jeeps, and yotas, and your doing one hell of a job at it..! Subscribed for sure..!  |
