|  DH's scale JK
well I'm gona attempt my first scaler, not sure how far I'm gona go with it but I have a couple ideas. today I got a start on the chassis and figuring out wheel base and link's. oh yea I'll be using Axial axles and tranny, other than that not sure what's going in/on it yet. so basicly these pics are just teaser pics to show how cool this body is (well atleast I think so since I have a 1:1 4 door JK) and yea some of those stickers are coming off.....        |

the body is from Walmart and it's made by New Bright I'm using a frame of my own when I get some more work done on it I'll post pics. and the WB is at 13" . they had both paint designs at my walmart but I chose this one since it's closer to my 1:1 |

Thanks, I can't wait to see your frame. I am going to attempt one myself and look to yours for inspiration.
