| Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady I know! but my back yard is big and leads into woods, which of course is where he went. AND he's a damn beagle so he likes to bury stuff I was looking for about 3 hours and the worst part was he was following me around helping me, but staying at least arms distance away |

I have a cheap ass metal detector from Harbor Freight and tried that, but the magnet.......that may be worth looking into, I have a metric shit ton of rare earth magnets.....maybe if I put them all together. But then again, with my wedding in a week and a half if she sees me in the back yard hunting for "toy parts" as she calls them, she may kill me |

Got some more done to it. Broke my dang tap, now I have to wait till the hardware store gets it in, so I can finish these tabs for the skins... Front bumper/winch mount are built CMS/ panhard are built Most of the tabs are on Still have some gusseting to do under the bumper rails. Something to tie the old rails into the new ones and make them flow together. I was going to do a double shear panhard mount, but decided a beefy single shear should do the trick, and allow for more tuneability in the panhard location. On with the pictures!! |

I am glad you like it! I always get a little nervous when someone gives me creative reign over the build, and trusts my opinion and styling. Thanks man. I am having a good time building this. | |

I've got so much pressure on me for the finishing of this thing lol. Can't wait to see what i can do, this has turned into so much more then i thought it would be. Phil's ability to make some babbling ideas come to life is absolutely amazing!

| Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady I can't wait to see what you do to this thing either. I think I decifer babbling ideas so well, because that is how my mind works. Its all scrambled up in there, but give me some steel and a welder, and I can make it happen |

| Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady Awe shucks.... Thanks man I wasn't very nice to either one of those, too. They can take a beating pretty good. When that servo locked up on me at the Rubicon, I got irritated, and the JK ended up doing full throttle hail mary jumps off of shit, at whatever angle the steering was pointing... My brother saved it's life. I was gunning to put it in it's grave there I think you need a third Last edited by ScaleReady; 10-16-2012 at 09:36 PM. |
