Man, if only they made those bodies as a 2nd gen toyota, then I'd hunt down another ssmt so I could build a mini version of my 1:1 rig.

Looking really good man. What did you use the body from? Looks similar to those kits on ebay. Goodluck on the rest of the build. Leach |

What'd you build that bed and sliders from? Is it brake line or styrene?
