PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... So Ive sold off most of my rigs and have the urge to build myself a new Class 2 rig. Im a Ford guy and bleed blue so I had a very hard time using any other manufacturer BUT with all the badass VW Bug builds going on I decided to try one out myself..... After owning many rigs I knew there was a couple things this build had to have: -Modified Hardbody -SCX10.2 axles, trans and custom CMS -Full interior with driver -12.5" wheelbase -max scale points allowed -chassis mounted servo winch -climb a wall and look absolutely sick as hell doing it "thumbsup" Started off with a Blitzer Beetle hardbody. When I received it, it was smaller than i expected. Nothing a little surgury can't fix. So out came thread, cutoff wheel, glue and styrene...... This: http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...0/Unknown.jpeg Went to this: http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...210_155256.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...210_155305.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...210_155355.jpg There will be lots of custom tube work on this one!! Ill update when chassis/cage is mocked up and ready for paint. -Thanks |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... Cant wait to see where you go with this."thumbsup" You can always throw a pinto motor old school style in the rear to stay true to your roots. |

Actually its your Bug build that finally convinced me to build one!! Thats funny because I keep telling myself its Ford powered. Ill have to search for a sweet scale engine if I can fit it in my tube work. A lot going in this small space :ror: |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... I spent some hours in the shop over the last few days and came up with this little work of art. Lots of work left but at least its a start..... http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...210_123309.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...210_123243.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...210_123132.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...210_123054.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...210_123110.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...210_123118.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...210_123202.jpg |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... I'm not usually a fan of bugs, but this thing looks amazing. Nice work, as always. |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... This is amazing! Nice work! |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... Lines are awesome, very sleek. What does the chassis weigh ? |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... Thanks guys ^^^. Im not sure what the chassis weighs but it feels about the same weight as my Truggy chassis. My guess is a 9lb rig when its done and on the rocks. Time to work on the interior pieces and paint the metal work!! |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... What are you going to use for the body? Just panels or a bug body from lexan or a hard body? |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... Ill be using the modified Blitzer hardbody in my first pics. Hardest part is hiding the "C" pillar gap. Because I extended the body 2" it kinda leaves a weird gap between the b and c pillars. I think my tube work and cage layout hid the extension pretty nice. Ill post a body on pic when I get back to it this weekend. |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... Looking good |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... Damn that was fast! Looks amazing. |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... Thanks again guys ^^. Had some time last night and today to get the interior pieces and the front/rear inner fenders cut out and painted..... http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...212_105900.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...212_123812.jpg |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... Damn, very nice"thumbsup" What material did you use for your inner fender wells? Thanks, Farmer |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... Looks Pimpy"thumbsup" |
Re: PIMP builds a new C2 rig.... I'm liking this. Not sure if I'd ruin the build with a ford motor though... I vote for a Big block mopar.. with a tunnel ram. (Don't look at my username, it's 5 years old I was young and stupid) Kidding of course. Looking great keep it up! Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
