I finally got more cutoff wheels and put in a couple hours this morning. I finished all the doors, started the other fender, Styrene'd the rear fenders, and welded up most of the truck. (Still needs grinding) I started the behind-the-cab structure too.









Thanks for looking! About 30 hours into it so far.

Today I ground down the bumper welds, started fabbing the hood, mounted the motor, mounted the T-case, cut out the cab wall, and started mocking up the exhaust. Pics!

I saw this thing in person about a week ago at Tammie's. It is simply bad ass! and it's HUGE. I'm excited to see it finished. Good luck and way to go!

This project will resume in February, as I'm hard at work on the Portland Auto show event for Axial.

Axial and Portland International Auto Show “The Build”

Thanks!

if you plan on runnin with that much tourqe, better fab up some steel driveshafts, cause I dont see those plastic spagetti shafts lasting too long, especially cause this thing seems to be gaining weight

The only reason MIP's arent on it is insufficient funds.
