| 40 Wacker
Here is another one I just got done making, The hardest part was masking off all the windows for the black trim.. I got a set of decals from run2jeepn and cut out the grill, And painted the rubber on the outside of the rear fenders to give it that scale look... I still have more detail to do to it and build a rear tire carrier for it... Here are some pics for now.. |

Sure did, I painted the inside of the flare black, And then added the rubber on the outside.. So if you manage to scrape the side, It wont show through to a body color or something like that.. | |

Dont be too mad at me, I cut up a perfectly good FJ body that I got from halfcab (Thanks Bro) for the diamond plate.. No really I am gonna be using the original for a tuber project coming up. Sooooo Instead of throwing away the unused rear of the shell I decided to use parts of it on FJ wacker here... Last edited by DARKHORSE; 08-07-2007 at 06:23 PM. |
