It's a proline 56 Ford body with the back half moidified and rebuilt with styrene.

Looking tough, its the little things that make a big difference.

UNGLEWD · 06-26-2008, 02:19 PM

Threw on some tailgate chain (still needs paint), decided on my foams, tacked the tires on just in case I need to make some alterations. Added some home grown (Bic Pen) wheel hubs.

I've got all of the old lugs that I had cut out when I reduced the tires. These will get added to throw off the tread pattern if they handle weird.

Going to grab a few strips of hardwood for my bumpers this week.

A few pics for fun.

Testing in the mud in the back yard course...

The tires work great in the mud and on the trails but colapse a bit too much when side hilling.

I like it, has farm truck all over it. The bed came out awesome too.

Picked up some more tires this week, always wanted a set of these to try em out. I mounted the G-Hawgs on the factory CR rims and blacked out the rock rings.

I think they`ll make a good trail tire. May be better with the tread reversed, anyone running them like that? They're no rock crawling tire as I suspected but worked cool today, look good too.

A few hill climbs...

A bit of playing on the rocks, I'll bring extra tires next time.

Looks real good...
Still trying to find the time to finalize mine..
That body looks good.

Col_Sanders · 06-28-2008, 10:35 AM

Looks great man, a little trimming on the Ground Hawgs and they look exactly like TSLs.

UNGLEWD · 07-17-2008, 12:14 AM

Cow Pie gets a facelift and a Bow Tie!

Well after only a few runs I've managed to completely destroy the old Ford body. It put up a great fight but the isane tumble down Bridle Veil Falls pretty much did it in, it's now held together with Tuck Tape and CA.
After a visit to the Hobby Shop the other day another Chevy body caught my eye. I need something that I don't have alot of time invested in body work for every day stuff. I was spraying another body and used my leftovers and mixed this color.

I'm going to break these reduced Rock Crushers in to see if I can get them to hook up any better, they look cool on the rims too.

UNGLEWD · 07-17-2008, 12:14 AM

A few pics with the body and tires mounted.
I'll spend a bit more time trimming and getting the ride height figured out tomorrow night.

FloridaRocks · 07-17-2008, 05:21 AM

this thing looks great. its been a good time watching this thing grow.

UNGLEWD · 07-17-2008, 02:39 PM

Thanks, I'm very happy with the color. This has been a great kit to mess oround with, it's just plain fun. I think some builds are best almost stock, less maintenance, cheap to run and easy to change up looks and handeling with a body and new set of tires.

I just snapped a few photos in the yard before all of the scratches start. I got all of the decals on, and the body mounted properly late last night. The dog and I need to go for a test drive over on the mountain for a while.

Here's some finished shots.

How did you do the light kit there? I got a tamiya tlu but does that body come with led holes or something similar?

loftonww · 08-14-2008, 04:22 PM

Man that ford is to coooool!

I second that on the lights .

you mind doing a thread on the light job??

Keep up with the great job.

jimbiss · 08-15-2008, 07:32 PM
