In this part of Pa we didn't get balsted with too much snow. Wanted to try out my converted WIP(work in progress) Honcho/JK, so I took a trail run with another member of our club.

One of the areas we comp at is called St. Peter's Village, it use to be a black granite quarry, it has some awesome hiking trails.

It was a blast to drive in the snow.

Now I have to get it finished up with a proper paint job, windshield and the lights.

post one up, Rik. Got it in paint today. Went with Model Master French Blue.

I did like the flat black but it was just the base coat.

I used a flat black spray enamel, then topped it off with Model Master custom spray enamel Franch Blue # 2915.

It is an old New Bright JK body. They can be found now at wally mart and the shack they are now called swamp dawg, they have this annoying brown simulated mud all over them. They were on sale over Christmas. I saw on for sale today for $40.

Might be availible, ill let you know.

A little update, There is a great vendor here on RCC, DLUX. I have bought many things from him for my LCC. He was nice enough to make me a die cut sticker for the front of my old Honcho.

So I asked him if he would make me another for the JK and this is what I got.

Thanks Erik for everything.
