Default D90 revamped

This was a D90 a few months ago, but the trip to Moab kinda killed the body. I finished it off a couple weeks back at an all scale get together, and I remembered that I had this body. I like how it's turning out so far, but there's already a couple things that I'll be changing.

Before-


After a couple hours in the garage-





Gonna finish the front bumper tomorrow since it's getting late




Some trimming needed, just like my 1:1



Mandatory flex shot-



I'll be moving the flatbed forward to close up the gap some, and the cowl hood isn't perfect by any means but it was my first one and am fairly happy with the outcome.

Got the front bumper done and mounted up my 2.2s to check for clearance for our snow run on Sunday but they don't really fit, oh well. I also was able to put a solid deck down before the styrene so I had a good base to glue to and to secure my tool boxes and spare tire



I moved the flatbed forward, much better



The accessories

It did ok, it's a little heavy for the 1.9s though. The 2.2s are here to stay, so it can be moved to the 2.2 section now. It's just about ready to go for the snow tomorrow, can't wait!

Looks good so far, but I mean I hate to point out the obvious but it's not even a Rover anymore. Who's white Rover is that in the background?

That would be why I put the word revamped in the title

I know, I wasn't trying to be a smartass it's just not a D90 anymore so I figure why not rename it altogether? It does look good though the way it is, I'm just partial to Rovers. I have one built and it's been redone twice and the 2nd time aroung I called it "reincarnated" b/c it was still a rover but seriously modified and upgraded. No sweat you're doing a great job with the Rover...uhh, I mean Chevy?
