Default My C2 build thread. Chassis by WTFab coming soon.

Updates coming soon. I had to get the thread started for the chassis builder to add pictures of work in progress.

I guess I can at least start with what the rig looked like this past year in the Indiana Scale series I ran while I wait for parts to come in. It went through several bodies but these 2 were my favorite.

The wait is going to kill me but Warren does outstanding work and I know it will be worth the wait. I need to start going through what I have and find what else I need.












I have some more goodies coming in the mail in a few days. I have everything I need to build it after I get it back but I have about 6 weeks to collect new parts and I think this truck needs to be badass so it is getting a complete makeover.

Looked great with the Toyota hard body on it! Looking forward to seeing with transfer motor relocation kit and other mods. Sweet looking cut tires on steel spokes, it obviously gets driven!

It gets driven on a weekly basis most of the time weather permitting. Its getting a fresh Toyota cab on it and Warren is building an exo cage for it.

a little update here cab mounts/rock slides are tacked on and cab mounted to them. I didn't have as much time today as I hoped to get much done. at least now I can get some tubes pre-bent up and tacked on next time I work on it.

Progress looks good so far. Got some more parts this weekend.



And I found the right front mount to run the AX2 tranny.

Looks good. I have not checked on this new mount to see if its taller. I will throw it on my truck today and get a measurement.

I haven't came up with a name, I never have been good at giving my trucks or cars names. It definitely needs one though, this thing is going to look good when it gets a fresh cab under it.

Anytime. Might want to wait until it gets a little warmer though, no heat in there.

Very nice! I like how closely the exo fits the body.
