 Wheels and tires finally came. Perfect wheels for a stock look. The stance was still too wide so I ordered some new axles to bring in the wheels.   | ||

Hey that looks good. I am going to create a body with styrene as well. But I am going more of the Tamiya Blazing Blazer look. Were did you get those body panel sheets? Are they from Plastrux or Evergreen? |

Small update. I'm waiting on headlight buckets for the grille so the front end is at a stand still. I did add a couple new pieces of styrene though.   | |
