A little sneak peak of what I have been working on over the weekend, still needs some stuff done, and finished up, but just about there. Just put the tires and wheels on, and just set the shock on the screws to take some pics. Threw some Hilux panels on it, and still working everything out, but this is the rough stage.

I got my Locked Up RC wheels in this past week, and man do they LOOK GOOD!!! I love these wheels!!! Cant wait to get out and bash on the wraith to see what they will take!! They mounted to the TSLs EXTREMELY well/easy, and they bolt onto the wraith axles with no rubbing or issues.








It isn't perfect, but it looks pretty sweet. Needs paint, and the rest of the details

I am going to need to cut up the front fenders some more, the tires rub it pretty good in its current condition. Looks like the front axle sticks way out there, but it is the same as it was before. I guess this could be "southern style" now??

Thanks guys!! It will be getting painted, just need to wait for a nice night to do it (gets dark early, and is still fairly cold). I painted the hood with the first base coat on Saturday, I'll need to get some pics up.

Thank you Patrick for the awesome wheels!! Can't wait to see what other products you come out with in the future

My width is roughly 11" outside of tire - outside of tire.

Threw some paint on the panels, and did some more trimming to get it ready for KOH.

Not the best paint, but that's alright.

The more I look at this rig, the more I like it without doors!

You should build some tube doors, and then styrene in some door jams

See ya Sunday sugar plum
