I guess since I told Ben (Unimoger) that I would be making it up to the scale nats next year I better have a rig to drive...Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics... I started with a SCX 10 Then I cut 2.48'' out of the rear frame (and donated it to Dirk) Test fit, just where I wanted it...I cut the fenders similar to WTF... Time for a little tube work...Still not done but you get the idea... I made up some boatsides and messed with the WB... |

Are those 2.2's? I'm liking the start of this. Can't wait to start toying with mine.

Okay I got a little more done since my last post I dovetailed the front and rear a little under 1''... And added some half doors... Since it is going to be running Rok Lok tires I mounted the head lights in the grill... Last edited by k9popo; 11-23-2009 at 03:39 PM. |

| yeah i don't know about the original plan on your paint. well i dont know. it could look really good, you'd just have to even out the rest with black i think. i think a shade would look better like silver. well figure it out and we should go to autoshopbodysupplies sometime and pick up some uber good paint.

That thing looks killer! I'm digging the body work and those wheels turned out awesome after you died them.

I love the spare hanging out the rear like that. Looks awesome! Judging by the wheels, is the body going to be red or black? |
