My Hilux project.
 
I picked up another complete scx10.2 chassis minus drive line. Decided I wanted to test my patience and build by true definition a truggy. This will probably be a slow drawn out build since I'll be slowly sourcing drive line parts and also figuring out what style back end I want to build. So far the only thing I know I want to try is pinching the nose a little and fit an interior hopefully. Non of my trucks have had one yet and I think this truck should be the one I do. So far I threw some left over links I had laying around on the chassis As well as some empty ar44 housing I've had sitting in the corner. I chopped some of the front of the chassis off since I wanted the cab to sit back a little and chopped the front of the fenders. Sat the cab on top and took a couple pictures not a lot to see yet.

Robbed my axles off my tundra truck for mocking up the cab. Think it'll have to get raised up a bit.

Think I've got the cab sitting where I'd like it. Hopefully start making some metal bits for it this weekend as long as I get my safety silv.

I love how this is turning out. If any experienced cage builders see anything I need to add structure wise please let me know. This is my first ever brazed up cage so I'd like it not to fall apart [emoji39] still need to get the cab mounted and sliders attached.

Body mounts are on as well as sliders! [emoji16] I expected this to take much longer. I'm going to have to start looking for axles trans and running gear soon...

The main chassis hoop and sliders are 1/4" brake line. The rest is 3/16" brake line.

Front bumper is done. Could have turned out better but it's going to get banged up anyways. Also got some more goodies in the mail. I have a trans and drive shafts now [emoji846]

Not sure everything I have is blue Lol thinking a green of some sort. The chassis is going to get powdercoated after it's all done as well not sure what color for that either.

Re: My Hilux project.
 
Got my electronics in today. Also got my matching spare tire and wheel. It moves under it's own power sort of. Everything works which is all I really wanted to check. Also wanted to get a rough weight on it so I weighed it. Right over 6lbs. Balance feels pretty good as well.

Plates brazed on where the electronics will go. I also started filling unwanted holes in the cab.

So I think it's going to be Toyota 375 for the paint color. Its period correct and I think it looks perfect. Test sample on the fender.
