So I have been working on getting the body finished and preped for paint.. I really enjoyed working with syrene for the first time. Real easy stuff to work with. I got the interior cut an shut to fit the tranny an chassis.

Now I will finally learn how to get this brazing down on some custom tube work.

You definitely are thinking outside the box.

Sparky J · 02-08-2010, 08:46 PM

Finally after all these years I learned how to braze

It actually was easy once I had all the right tools

Started fabing up the front bumper, winch mount an hood gaurd

I'll try to load more once Imageshack is back up

Damn Sparky, looks like you really want those 30 points.

Looks good, nice job on the brazing. What else are you planning on brazing up?

Thanks Todd.. I will be doing some rock rails after I finish running the suports for the bumper, an then who nows from there

Sparky J · 02-08-2010, 10:45 PM

A few more pics of the front bumper.

The front tube work is looking good

.

And I really like the use of a Jeep front end. This is really looking cool

.

Are you planning on making some tube fenders and tying them into the rock sliders?

I agree with everything he just said, this is looking pretty sweet!

I think tube fenders from the grill guard to the rock rails would be pretty dang cool on this as well.

Thanks guys.. I do plan on running tube wherever the body is going to take damage. I put to much work in this jeep to get beat up, plus its so brittle Im affraid it will crack. So yes it will be fully protected

Cruzin Illusion · 02-09-2010, 09:08 AM

That thing is looking sweet!!! Can't wait to see it finish in person.

Mini · 02-09-2010, 09:18 AM

Looks really good did not think the body was gonna fit with the electronics box, box look huge on the chassis great job.

I wasn't sure about the electronics box either, but it ended up working out perfect.
