Thank you!

Primer. A few spots to correct before paint.

But first I should fix the chassis.

I am also going to cut many strips to put on my rear cargo area. Another part that is going to be custom built.
I cant figure out how to send pics to a PM for you. I don't want to hijack your thread with my pics .
I will put them on my build page and you can look at them there.
Keep up the good work!

I had a fella send me one of these chassis to lengthen so it would fit the new RC4WD fj40 body better, it was my first time seeing one and I have to say they are awesome! You are doing a fine job on this one Noob!

pardonmyn00b · 09-11-2016, 12:58 PM

Here's a list of things I had to do to the body to make it of the correct year and model. The primer was wet in the pics

Modified the bib

Filled the cowl vent, filled wiper holes for the right hand drive, wiper motor cover

Diamond plate steps

Rear ambulance doors and hinges

Fuel door and doors

Crappy roof rebuild

where's the roo rack?

IVIaarten · 09-14-2016, 08:02 AM

I'm guessing this isn't going to be used as a rock crawler

It's going to be a cwalrer.

Its good that Uncle Albert finally has a Jeep plow to avoid the inevitable heart attacks that come with shoveling snow. I hope the Mr. Plow jacket has been dry cleaned and is ready to go. Winter in Ohio starts in like 2 weeks right?

Only for plowing kangaroos! Winter is just around the corner. Joy..

Color!

pardonmyn00b · 09-23-2016, 07:55 AM

Paint has been squirted from a pressurized can onto the body.

Derek Larsen · 09-23-2016, 11:31 AM

How many Alberts can it hold?

Kinda sorta really happy with how this is turning out.

To give the sliding window look I lightly scored the backside of the window with the knife.

pardonmyn00b · 09-27-2016, 08:51 PM

I left work early today to work on the Troopy. We are expecting rain for the next few days so I had to finish and get it out to the Folly for pics and video. The pictures turned out alright but the video will be pretty short. The truck is far too long and the 10 degree approach angle makes it very difficult to drive in Smiggin's Folly.

So in the last 24 hours or so I made and installed the windscreen wipers, turn signals, inner fenders, antennas, rear marker lights, license plate mount and probably some other stuff.

Please enjoy the pictures and thank you so much for following along!

Long truck. Heavy truck. Long, heavy truck.

Poor cwalrer.

Anchor.

Friends.

It looks bigger in person. That's what she said?

Scale Builber's Guild

Sweet drone shot, bro. Oh wait, just me s standing up.

2 inches further and it was stuck.

Stuck again

About to get stuck

chino63 · 09-27-2016, 11:14 PM

Very nice work, definately looks like the real deal.

Someday, I hope I will be invited to visit Smiggins folly.
