Thank you man, I'm not much of a Chevy guy either, but I had the body laying around and I thought it looked like it had potential.

im jealous of you too for living there.... where i stay is out in the middle of nowhere up on a mountain near a small town... just how i like it.... but what pisses me is when someone around here knows i'm pretty much from WV they say hey how your cousins doing??? whens the last time you slept with one of them? how many teeth you got????? it gets annoying because WV is nothing like that. But thank you man

Thank you man, but i think i have run into a problem... well The bumpers need mounted onto the body, and i was gonna use some sort of tough glue, but only thing is... the wheels hit the bumpers when semi-articulated and i have a strong feeling that with the way me and my neighbor crawl they will get ripped right off... HA! and while we were shortening the wheelbase on the crawler, the entire tranny (mount and all) dropped out because the four screws through the sides striped out... new problem to add to the list to get figured out (convinced him to just but a new one, only in aluminum or something)

Grab a scale chassis(or make one) and those bumpers will be a breeze to mount.

Nice paint btw

Thank you for the idea man, i'll see what my neighbor wants to do with it (his money & mainly my ideas ) But if he's in on it then that is a great solution. Thank you.
