Same here. When I was in school I had a Burbon...I once got caught by the Cops when I was in the middle of giving my old g/f some...well you know...3 cops showed up and we sat there for 45min. Just for them to let us go. The good old days

Thanks for the complements guys. It's getting very hard to come up with something new. There are so meny people on here building unbelievable suff. I'm taking the body to work with me today for some finish work and hopfully 1 last coat of primer. I checked with my LHS last night and he has some geo's in stock. I think I'll give those a try and lower the body a little more. I'll post up my progress soon.

Looks good so far. You should try some Geo's just to see the difference. Also needs an old school bowtie grill.

Looks good. The only thing that seems "off" is the rear door is a little bit too short.

I'll be posting some new pics very soon. I just finished painting the body but I still have to finish the frame. I've also been working on a k5 blazer body that I'll post some pics of this weekend. Thanks for all the great comments.

You could just narrow your dirt hawgs and they will kinda look like Super Swamper sx's. Just a idea.

Looks great!! I still think that Geo's would look good on there (I hapen to be looking @ a set right now:-P ) due to the fact that I see alot of 'Burbs on Geos around here.
