Default Tom Cherry's Ultimate Chevy K30

Tom just got married this past Saturday & his friend Tyron hired me to build his rig for a wedding present. So now his Ultimate Chevy has a 1/10 scale replica.

The specs are :
Proline 80's Chevy body w/Clod grill
Proline 1.9 Flatirons
Custom chassis & tube bed
leaf sprung shaved TLT axles
Full interior
Axial tranny,
1.9 beadlocks
& rtr electronics

The 1:1

Bow Tie By Design
Wrenching for years behind the scenes at Off Road Design and having a hand in many of the epic fullsized wheelers to roll out of the shop, it was Tom Cherry's time to get out and wheel. Outfitted with a full line of Off Road Design parts and putting its legendary transfer-case Doubler to good use, Tom's Bow Tie creation made light work out of some of the toughest obstacles using virtually all over-the-counter parts.


Driver: Tom Cherry
Representing: Off Road Design
Stomping grounds: Colorado
Vehicle: '85 Chevy K-30 cab/'82 Blazer frame
Other Stuff: Off Road Design front bumper, Warn winch, Edelbrock Pro Flo injection, custom cage and bed
Built for: Everything


Here are the build pics.

Can you post pictures of all the modifications you did to make that?


Nice work Matt, this is a grat looking rig. I'm trying to decide if I like the lexan body or the hard body better, they both look good.
