Default the DmG/NCC - Nat/V2

the DmG/NNC
Nat/V2

pick up one of NIGHTCRAWLER CUSTOM "Lil' Squirt"
chassis.

along with everything getting built at the garage these days,
had to do a upper bolt on chassis for it.


turned out kind-a cool look-in.
all 3/16" alum rod & 1/8" plate, SUPER LITE !!

not to sure i like the hood ,may change on the next one.

just wanted to throw it out there & see what everyone thinks ??


comments & ideas welcome !!


the DmG

I like it.. U should make a limited supply of them and only turn out like 5... so less people have them...

Just my idea..

U always do great work so whatever your clever mind comes up with Im sure we all will love it...

The hood looks cool like that; I think if you lowered it, it would throw off the lines of the entire chassis, especialy the rear.

Do you ever sleep Jerry?

Looks like another big hit from the DmG! For those not liking hood as is, maybe even leaving the tubes as they are and only placing the panel from the screws forward. That way it would still utilize the killer frame lines but wouldn't obstruct the "driver's" view. I'd have to hold off further judgement until I saw it all mounted up and good to crawl though

Default Build in progress...

Just got this little beauty in the mail yesterday! This is still in the process of being built (as if the lack of shocks doesn't scream as much) but I thought I'd post up a few shots of where it's at so far...







I'm also going to start a build thread for it and will post up lots more shots and vids as I get the last few parts in the mail

On mine, the holes to mount the tuber line up to the stock chassis' outermost holes (the ones most people mount their shocks too).

Nice little army of DMG LMC's you've got going Red

I like the slammed posture of this one...looking forward to seeing it with the boingers mounted up.

Hopefully I'll see the shocks today. They're coming from Horizon's CA warehouse apparently, so the trip to WI is taking forever :(

Looking real good my man. Possible to see a side by side of the Nat and Nat V2, just for reference?

It's a little hard to tell in my pictures, but the 2 are more or less the same size. I only have the one MRC, so the built V2 shown with the chassis only Nat is the best I can do for ya.

I think the V2 looks very futuristic. That is a tuber I would actually own.

FINALLY got my shocks in the mail today! Also added some new lower links made by Cody/JSSuper.

Here's a few photos of how it turned out:

Man I'm loving this little rig. I really digged the Orange Nat tuber I ran first, but this V2 really takes the cake!

I'm also going to add another video to my build thread, but I wanted to get some more "finished product" pics here for those who may me interested in Jerry's awesome designs
