| Tonka Jeep MRC
So I had this Tonka Jeep that I wanted to do a scaler with. It kind of fits on my MRC so I chopped it and here is where I am at. I realize it won't be a true accurate scale but I think it will look pretty sweet so I figure why not. Any pointers for me on this on how to reconnect or maybe just tube the rear end? any help is appreciated. |

So I am thinking of tubing it out and then skinning it with flashing or lexan. here is a crude ms paint drawing of what I am thinking. |

Cool. Good luck on the build. I remember I had one of those green Jeeps as a small kid. It was my favorite.

If you can figure out how to reconnect the pieces you could end up with a CJ 6. (no it's not mine) Somebody with a tig could prolly do it for ya. |

I did think about reconnecting it and possibly going for a CJ6 or even a CJ8 style body...I may tube it out and then put body panels on to make it look like one....thanks for the ideas!! | |

You could cut some patch panels from thin gauge steel and braze them in. You could weld them in also.
