Wild Willy 3
 
It's time for a new theme for my Wraith.
I don't know if it's been done before because it's hard to keep up with all the Wraith builds out there but here is my version.

Wild Willy 3.

Looks real good, what did you use to fab the willy's grill?

Thanks,man."thumbsup"

The grill is made out of 1 mm thick aluminum sheet.
V2.0 will be made out of 40x40x3 mm angle aluminum to increase strength.

Began modifying the rear of the chassis to make sure it will blend in with the new theme.


To shorten the chassis i will bring this piece 58 mm forward.

In order to do that these parts were cut off.
