since i posted that last post i have begun my work on a scale body for my crawler. i allready have a non scale lexan body for it and now i will have a scale military style metal dodge powerwagon body for my crawler. i am hoping it turns out well because from what i have done so far it is tight.

i am also hoping when it is finished to use automotive spray paint to paint it so then i can get some real body damage

i am only worried that it will be too top heavy to crawl at all

Get some pics of the progress!!!

it may be a little while before i can post pics b/c the only comp in my house compatible with our digi cam is in the shop so i will take periodic pics and tell u my progress
so far i have cut and bent the fenders which is one of the hardest parts b/c the edge is bent down and i have ine side of the bed done. problem is i am running out of metal so next time i get paid i will buy more to continue working on it.
also if anyone here watches the show trucks on spike tv and know about the dodge powerwagon build-up named seargent rocks that is my trucks name and it will be scale to this truck tires and all. on the show they put 41" tall 17" wide tires on it and in 6th scale this equalsjust under 7" tall and just under 3" wide which is close to the measurements on my savage tires
