Ok, now lay off the red bull and build the jeep.

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

very nice... excited to see what your gonna do to it "thumbsup"

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

Shore Patrol version? ( we called 'em the short time patrol...:mrgreen:)

As much as I have no issues cutting up a regular Hasbro Jeep, this one is definitely on the 'harder to find' list. "thumbsup" to what ever you do with it!

Re: Awww Yeah!

Take a look here Grizz;

XE50-02 1/6 Scale Vehicle Willy's Jeep - Hood Canvas | eBay

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

Nice! I'm amazed at all the 1/6 stuff. I need to get the I Am Legend outfit for my driver. :ror:

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

check out all of the stuff for 1/6th scale action figures. Between the "life like" bodies, head sculpts, clothing and accessories, it's almost kind of creepy what you can build for a driver. I've been *this* close to buying a 1/6th Stig to drive my orange Jeep!

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

Currently building one of the USN Jeep version. keeping mine almost original except with a few upgrades. The Jeep body and color will remain original.

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

If you guys keep building these things I'll have to con my wife into letting me convert her kubelwagen or schwimmwagen 1/6 scale rigs to R/C instead of the Barbie new beetle. :lol:

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

I remember a site somewhere on the internet that will re-pop YOUR head in 1/6th scale. You send them several photographs and they scan them somehow I think. I can't find it right this second though.

My driver was "assembled" from 4 or 5 different ebay buys. Body from one place, head from another, etc. I got a little carried away...

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

for a sweet rig like this...myself, id grab some military tires and steelies from rc4wd!

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

go buy 20 more of the oxygen bottles, you will through that many before the MAPP bottle goes empty.

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

Wow, is the ratio of use really that bad?

I guess it is worth it to just have my "real" bottles refilled at the local welders supply. I'm out if Safety Silv anyway. It's expensive these days though...:cry:

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

i bet this is the place your thinking about :mrgreen:
ThatsMyFace - Custom Action Figures, Dolls & Masks from your Photos

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

yes. the oxy bottle is not a high pressure bottle, hence the lack of a regulator. Once I started to add up how much I wasted on those little red canisters, I realized that I already had spent more than a basic HVAC style oxy/act setup would have cost. I'm not trying to discourage CTBM from trying it, the kit is an easy way to give brazing a try.

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

ah thats what you were talking about. ya like bigski said, I've used this before, if you have already a high pressure oxy tank with a regulator, thats be a really good setup for beginning

Re: Awww Yeah!
 

So I see you have wraith axles under that Willy's too, I used them too and what I find is they are like boat anchors they hang up on everything but look awesome lol if you use the plastic diffs they eventually round out and slide a bit better ......... sort of "thumbsup" love the Willy's builds I am thinking I might even build a second one but not comp cut the rear fenders this time
