My 2nd OG Bruiser build

[rocpede]

I have been my parts over the last couple years to get this build started. Just waited to I got my 1st OG Bruiser almost done before I started another build thread. I picked this bruiser frame up on eBay about a week ago. It was in better shape than the other frame I had. I wanted this bruiser to be a little different then the 1st..

I still have to get some parts powder coated. So while I was waiting on them to get done. I messed with the main frame rails. I lightly sanded them with 220 grit sandpaper and used mothers mag and wheel polish with my dermal.. This is how they look so far..

Here are some of pictures of the frame together.. I'm going to take the axles apart and polish them up like my 1st OG Bruiser!! I'm also going to replace all the screws with scale hardware through out it..

Here is another update.. Installed all the spring hangers an high lift springs, bumpers and body mounts.. Also installed the transmission I picked up off eBay a couple months ago.. It was painted Gloss Black from the previous owner.. It will fit this build just perfect.. All with scale hardware, it really sets it off!! I picked the OG Bruiser body up from Forrest over at BruiserBuilder a year ago.. Needs a little work..






An a sneak peek of my 1st re release that I have also been working on for a year now..

An my little Dixie in the back ground looking at what I'm doing!! Lol!!

I got a little bored waiting to go to work.. I didn't like the screw look on the rc4wd bruiser rims. I had some 3mm scale hardware.. So I swapped the hardware.. I think it looks a 100 times better..

funny how just the hardware change made the wheels look so much better.
