willy's build by warriorsimi
 

been wanting to build another for quite some time now, i have two of these bodies but the other is the rat patrol with the jerry cans on the hood and machine guns.i will be using tlt axles with a transfer case and axial tranny under the hood.it is going to be leafed using tf2 leafs springs if i can find another set.first thing i tackled is the wheels and tires i want this build to look all original .i won't be doing any tube work on it maybe a little styrene but that is it .heres the start of it it won't be a fast build just wanted to get it going.

i drilled the back side 1/2 an inch so the rc4wd hubs would fit.then drilled the six holes and bolted it together.

i had to bolt it together then put the back half of the wheel on with the axle nut,then the front half gets screwed in from behind.
