I think I would win the bidding war. When you get ready to sell it I have your money sitting right here. I guess I should get you to build one to match my new buggy. It is going to pimp  -Dan www.bluetorchfab.com |

Just a small update. Axles are finished skids are on, still need to do some of the detail work, shock mounts, and link mounts! Thanx for all the great replies. Dan I can't believe you sold your rig!! I bet the next one will be twice as nice! Mike     Sorry about the crappy pics! |

I use a bernzomatic oxy/Mapp torch with the correct brazing wire and flux! The hood is from a HPI Rubicon body that I cut up. Thanx for the compliments Mike |

I just thought I would check in to see the progress. Man it is almost freaky how close some of the work is compared to the real thing. -Dan |

Sorry I haven't been able to do much! All I've done is brazed in about seven more pieces and fabbed up one 4 link bracket. Work has been busy and along with all my other hobbies and my girlfriend telling me I never spend any time with her its been a real treat! I will try and get the link mounts done and have it rolling soon. Thanx alot for the interest!!!!!!!!!!! Mikew |

If she wants to spend time with you, tell her to learn how to bend and braze! My g/f gave me that crap, I got a brainstorm and let her drive my Rustler. She loved it until the rooster caught on fire. Now we are spending time together and she has the Rusty and a TLT in the works.

Very Nice work Mikey, I really need to learn how to braze. The joints look so much better than using my Mig.
