Well this thing is being passed around between friends here in SoCal but it's mine now so I thought I'd make some small changes. Hand-hammered some body panels and they ended up looking pretty good. Touched up the paint, changed the links to the Traxxas 5319 black links, changed the rear springs to a softer rate. Can't decide if I want to paint it or not and what color it would be. I kinda like the "brushed" bare metal look though.

Boyer Frame
Bruiser Axles
TXT Transmission
Integy 55t Lathe
Novak Super Rooster

When I got it:

I'll get the old pics from greg so I can host the photos of what it used to look like. Here's some previous posts about the rig

looks rad! instead of painting the panels, just let me pinstripe them! is the wheelbase still the same?

not that it doesn't work great as is, but there are some other tweaks that could be done, like the modding the lower link mounts on the axles.

here's a pre-greg photo...

Changes look great. Love those hand hammered body panels.

I haven't seen the Boyer/Bruiser since GTG January 15.
Seeing it on 4/23 made me look and dig up this thread.

Calling next in line to be passed to

I might go with a high polished body panels..... that's about it.

go with the pinstripe on the panels, it would be awsome.
