Project: "Mini Me" (SCX10 Clod/Chevy)...
 
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps1b07476b.jpg
This is going to be a "Mini" version of my Exo-Cage Clod/Chevy. This will not be narrowed but will get some fender trimming. I don't have the time now, but after Axial Northwest Scale Nationals, I will be making a flat bed.

1987 FTW.:mrgreen:
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps6c654319.jpg

Filled in the hood.

Made an access hole in the bed for future lights or lipo location.

Here is the tool box I made for the bed.
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps46967ca2.jpg

Here is the bumper I came up with.
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps9fe16ad2.jpg

Braced good for any future angry driving.:oops::mrgreen:
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps72bafc5a.jpg

I thought this was a cool idea, I made the bumper mounts fit inside the frame rails....to help with any up and down forces. I also drilled two holes on the bottom the bumper mount to hold RC4WD shackles.

Got started on the sliders.

So far so good Justin. Just think, somewhere some Tamiya guy is cussing up a storm at you for hacking that OG body. OMF wheels are sick.
