1:7th Suzuki Samurai trail build Okay folks, what do you do when you want to do a scale trail rig? Right now you can do a Jeep, Bronco, Courier, C-10, or an FJ40 or Scrambler if you don't mind spending $60.00 for a body. What about us people that enjoy being different and love "making" more then "buying" our bits? Well, after spending the past 3 months reserching, taking pics, and drawing massive amounts of scale blue prints, you get this... http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...0/081706-1.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...0/081706-2.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...0/081706-3.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...0/081706-4.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...0/081706-5.jpg Its still rough, but it is starting to come together quickly now. What do ya think? |
ive been waiting for this. i think it looks good. |
Sweet job man but to me the top looks a little to tall. |
Ya, I thought that to, but all the tech drawing and pics I scaled off of shows its correct. A buddy of mine was over last week and said it is because I don't have the doors on it yet. If it still looks to tall after the doors go on, it will be time to chop the top. |
:shock: |
Very cool, the tires look tiny, yet scale |
The roof seems high enough to fit a GI Joe in there LOL Maybe a Barbie doll too? Looks good! |
They are scale 30/9.50/15's on 15X7 inch wheels;-) |
Looks good so far man!! here I am just learning how to make my own links and whatever and your builds samiris. Or however its spelled i am tierd |
It may seem too tall, but Samurai's are like that. Looks like a great start. What material did you use? I want one :) |
Keep us posted with lots of pics with this one,Ive got a 1988 sami I rebuilt and modified in 1995, Very capable little trucks, they make the "landrover" guys red faced when we p!!! all over them!!!!!!!!!! |
Any pics you can PM me would be great, still can't deside what grill to make for it. There is about 11 different styles I found. |
Original and cool... Keep it up, cannot wait to see the finished product. Did you do the chassis yourself or is it something like the CSC-1? I had a lady friend that had one. It was a blast of a little rig. |
The frame was made by me, scaled it off this... http://www.geerdijk.com/files/suzuki...ai_chassis.jpg |
Man the cut&shut geolanders look awesome! Can't wait to see this done. Is the body work metal? |
that is porn8) keep the updates coming |
I've been around Samurai's my whole life and that looks right on! I used to have a grey one and my dad raced a blue one and a cow painted one in tough trucks all over the place. If you guys have ever seen the Gotmudd? Sami, that's our old one. Too sweet.... |
When are you doing a spring over and 33's:flipoff: |
It looks tall because it is rightside up... We are all used to seeing Sammys upside down on the trail! :flipoff: |
Now thats what I call thinking outside the box, I love one off custom builds. Looks really good so far dude, keep up the good work. Mike |
