Cutting up vintage 1987 bodies is what I do.

Here is the body I started out with, sorry this paint job is not my style.


1987 FTW.


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.


All trimmed and ready for paint.

[justinart24]

Got the chassis all together and mad all new links. Wheel-base is 12.1".


He is such a good helper.


Shot of the rear links with the GearHead 4-link mount.


Shot of the front links and the New-Era 4-link mount.

[justinart24]

Here is the bumper I came up with.


Braced good for any future angry driving.


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.

cant believe you dont like that flame job, lol. Great start on this man. The wheels are sick btw.

[klabeaume]

Loving to look you have going. Great parts list can't wait to see how she turns out.

[jmontes_21]

Nice start

What will you do for bump steer

[ColquittCustom405]

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.

[Desert Rc]

Well nice recovery from the flamer job...looks like good progress.
