Fixed it for you.

That came out nice.
Wish I had the time and space to work as fast (and nice) as you do.

The thought is always in my mind. Now that I've got some brazing done it's time to sell everything else and start over. Um, scratch that, that's too much work.

I really wanted to get it at least to this point this weekend. Now it's back to work and I'll get very little done for a while.

Having thing's laid out well always helps a ton when building. After you've built as many rigs as I have I think you just get faster at it.

Thanks, and yes, the rear is the Axial 4 link Truss. For $12 it's hard to argue with.

WOW Zach. The look is spot on and I love the matte look of the paint. That is one sweet looking Bronco.

The dovetail looks really clean.

Thanks Grizz! You just made my day I hoped as the resident Bronco expert around here you'd like it. I think most my rigs will be given the matte paint treatment from now on. I think it gives a lexan body a lot more realistic look. Plus the scratches look cool instead of crappy.

I let the dove tail out a little yesterday. I think it looks quite a bit better. I also lengthened the rear links just a hair. It's now just a bit under 11".

I'm hoping to get some work done on the interior today. I picked up a Proline body just for the interior. Sooner or later I'll do a full styrene interior but I'm having a hard time finding seats that work and I think with some detailing the Proline one will look pretty good.

Dang Zach, I decide to check the progress on this, and it's pretty much done....since when did you start building trucks in 5 days???

I absolutely LOVE the front end. The bumper/brush guard looks wicked. The paint is great too....you're right, it definately looks more realistic with the matte finish. Those tires are perfect scale to that body as well, very nice! Can't wait to see it with an interior. Nice job. Tim.

You, Griz, and War Pig should do a "March of the sick bronco's" Photoshoot. That would definetly be great to see all 3 sick broncos together

Besides my Toyota flatbed I tend to build them fast or they never get done. I've been rounding everything up for this one for a while. I just didn't get started until last week. It nearly killed me to not be able to work on it today.

Thanks Tim! I really think it's come together well The interior right now will be lexan but with some flat black outside paint and some detailing I think it will look surprisingly good. Better than a hack job styrene interior which is about all I'm capable of.

If they are there I'm in Mine might look a little out of scale compared to those though. We'll have to do some trick photography

Thanks! I just finished up the interior. It's got to dry still but I'll be putting it in in the morning. Pics tomorrow! Hopefully lights too, that is if I have a light kit somewhere.

It's not waterproofed so probably not but I'll get pictures and video this weekend on some nice southern Utah sand stone.

Big Bear and I are going to get together tomorrow and get his 2.2 Reign Labs Brute rolling for some good testing this weekend. He got seriously lucky scoring that one
