| Re: Codyboy Designs "Northwest Express" Bud Hey Nate, I will get back to it this week, I have been working on a new steering for the losi guys. I can't call it XR10 steering because there's nothing XR in the new design! I will have something to show later this week. Ernie Thanks for the kind words Chris! Thanks DrewHammer, I'm not sure if I'm going to mold it into the hood, or just attach it. Ernie |

Looking good Ernie! Very clever idea with the hood scoop, and it looks great. As always your builds never disappoint. |

I had time today to work on the cage for my jeep. I'm going for a two seater look. Now to start making it my own! I use a DIY tubing bender, that makes it easy to duplicate and mirror bends. Thanks for looking. Ernie Last edited by CODYBOY; 12-21-2016 at 07:23 PM. |

| Re: Codyboy Designs "Northwest Express" Bud Thanks Nate, I have built so many of them they kind of build them selves. Ernie Hey Doc, thanks for the perk, I know some guys don't like my cages because the are not a traditional 1:1 cage. I like putting my own spin on them. Hey a Merry Christmas to all of you out there, and hope your New Year brings you many great surprises. Keep passing it forward. Ernie Last edited by CODYBOY; 12-24-2016 at 05:09 PM. |

It's been a few days, and had a time in the last couple days to work on the tube doors. I think Bud likes them! Yes, they do open and close. I really had to work to get the hinges right. they could be better but they function. The little pin attaches to magnets on the inside of the body. The sliders will be next, maybe a couple Gullwing sliders?? Thanks for looking! Ernie |

Ernie, have you considered sending the cage out and having it chromed? All that tube work would really pop with some chrome shining in the sun Of course I've always been a chrome junky and think everything looks good chromed lol. |

I had a little time this week to work on Buds rig, so here are the sliders I came up with. Trying to stay with the theme of the cage! Pluto seems to like them. Thanks for looking guys, now back to the Losi axle mod! Ernie | |||
