Nice. Did they ever make a Wagoneer model kit like that?

Not to be a jerk, but Chrysler didn't buy out AMC (and subsequently Jeep) until 1986.

:mrgreen:You Jerk!:mrgreen: Yeah but Jeep is still Mopar to me. Never made a Wagoneer. I was searching for something different for a scale build and came across this one on the bay. I also picked up a 1978 Dodge Lil Red Express Pickup Truck kit that I would like to do also.

Sounds like a good build! That will look a lot like my 1/10th scale Honcho:

Yep, Chrysler took what AMC was doing and made it better. Still waiting on a Hemi Wrangler, though.

Your wait is over friend, http://www.burnsvilleoffroad.com/

The only way to go is the 7.2 hemi with over 600HP "thumbsup"

I'm thinkin a factory installation might be a little easier on the wallet, though. "thumbsup"

Sorry for the thread jack skullking.

Hmmm, never heard of them...:shock:

Is this build done yet? Come on tease, on with the show. Let's see the pieces.

LOVE the Honcho! There's a 1:1 in my little hometown sittin lifted and on 35 inch shoes waiting for me to try and buy! I sure miss my old school FS Cherokee Chief with a 360, six inches of lift and 35 inch mudders....don't miss the gas mileage though! That's why we're wheelin a 92 YJ, motor's bolted, buffed, suspension's lifted and stuffed....it's also a daily driver too!

"Pieces" are in the Mail. As soon as I get them I will post up some PICS"thumbsup"

Common foo' All that crap you got layin around the house and you cant throw something else on there for the moment? LOL Maybe a "Elvis head crawler"

This is gonna be a good one...can't wait to see it! "thumbsup"
