is it going to be a cj6? what are you going to make the body out of, metal or plastic? might want to put some tech in here before a mod puts it in chit chat, what axles, trans, ect...... |

I think typing that way makes you sound un-intelligent and it looks like it's been stretched 3 feet. Definitly NOT to scale. A CJ7 has 93-94" wheelbase, not a 130" one. Do some more research on your measurments.

| "The CJ6 was a full 20 inches longer than the CJ5 with a wheelbase of 101 inches to the CJ5's 81 inches." Found here: http://www.4-the-love-of-jeeps.com/jeep-cj6.html |

The wheelbase is 150ish inches??? The wheelbase for a 2009 F350 Super Duty Supercab LWB is 158".. The base 2009 F350 Super Duty is only 137". http://www.fordvehicles.com/trucks/s...ions/exterior/ |

did some fixing on the drawing and made the cage alittle taller to look more scale. and added a inner cirle in the tires for the 1.9 size tire. dont know wat tire i feel like going for. probably 1.9. looks alittle better and people say thats wat i should do. any other suggestions? this thread is a build on another thread a buddy started. this build is based off his dads jeep. here it is if you wanna check it out. does this seem like a good scale build??? |

| find a vehicle you are trying to copy measure the WB and divide by the scale you are trying to replicate said vehicle in. If you can't figure that out go kick your math teacher in the sack. Is this person going to make the body out of styrene or buy a built body? |
