It is coming together nicely "thumbsup" It sure sucks when you have parts waiting at home and you are out of town working. Happens to me all the time :x |
Yep, godbless the oilfield. Oh well it pays the bills |
Looks great. I dig the "hydro steer" drag link. Are you going to make hoses for it? I feel your pain on parts and projects waiting while you are away. I do it 6 mos at a time.:evil: |

:flipoff: maybe I shoulda called ya on this one too. Thanks Andy |
Got a stinger and winchplate built and did a slight mock up to see how things are looking. http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...f/IMAG0061.jpg http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...f/IMAG0057.jpg http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...f/IMAG0058.jpg http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...f/IMAG0055.jpg |
Took a break from tubework and started a little of the interior. I did a flat sheet of diamond plate for the bad area,I know not very original but gets rid of the headache of concealing electronics.the body is rough cut so don't pay attention to the lines http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...f/IMAG0062.jpg |
I like it, send me a PM when your coming through GJ and check out the mutant rig |

Well got most of the interior squared away http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...f/IMAG0067.jpg And the little PowerPlant its small but torquey and FAST hooked to the gru I snagged today http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...f/IMAG0068.jpg |
You should have warned me, and I would have sent you a blem body with the other one to practice painting on.........:lmao: J/K..... The project looks like it is coming together nicely......"thumbsup" |
Ya I know:oops: Should be ordering another on soon..but then again it doesn't look THAT bad when its all together. I'll be pming you about that flattop soon |
Damn she looks good indeed! Very nicely done, cant wait to see her done and gettn dirty |
Thanks neither can I. Sooo,here's a list of shit that's gone wrong; rc4wd winch controller---didn't work out of the bag,decided against brushless and went with a mamba micro pro for size,1 min into test run----smoked. Gonna be a couple days for the new one so i decided to redo the interior with some thicker stuff made a batt/electronics box up front and bent up and brazed a dashboard http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...IMAG0094-1.jpg http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...f/IMAG0093.jpg Hopefully ill be running before the weekend,lhs was able to warranty it out just gotta wait a couple days now. |
Wrapped up the onterior,found some sweet little shift knobs, and cod pass on having the ultimate warrior drive it. http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...IMAG0110-1.jpg http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...f/IMAG0109.jpg |
So after finding out the hard way (roaching 2 motors) the hpi gru just wasnt geared low enough so buddy of mine helped me fab up a tranny mount,and threw in the gmade trans everything seems to be working better now. Should have some vid. soon http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...f/IMAG0111.jpg |
