Re: Schs2013 Project "Ratty-Trucky Truggy" Deciding to hold off cutting trx4 floor pans. and processed with building the rear end and get a wire bender to help me with my 3/16th" styeren EVG226 as trail build to see if it will hold up never used styeren before so another adventure to come! in this build. oh link to the wire bender i ordered. i had to order a tool to help make my bends consistent. this should arrive by Wensday at the latest. Wire Bender - Lee Valley Tools Theres the update. these might slow down for a little while, as i learn how to work the styeren but once i get the hang of it. there will be a post of what ive got brewing. |

Re: Schs2013 Project "Ratty-Trucky Truggy" Fake Winch or no winch? I normally never use one so thought I'd reuse parts. Let me know what you like best in comments below. Going to wait until Wednesday for response and most popular comment of "yes winch" or "no winch" will be what I use for the rest of the build.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...463308ef76.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6449ce1c15.jpg Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk |
Re: Schs2013 Project "Ratty-Trucky Truggy" Tally votes from RCC 0 Facebook friends Yes winch 20 no winch 2. Thanks for the input guys when I get the funds I'll add a real Winch to the bumper. For now TRX 4 tactical winch will be used.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a2e23aea6c.jpg Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk |

Re: Schs2013 Project "Ratty-Trucky Truggy" Quick update styeren has arrived. Still waiting on magnets and wire Benderhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1a5d06f9b6.jpg Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk |
Re: Schs2013 Project "Ratty-Trucky Truggy" Spinning ideas in my mind. 1. Create fuel tank under gap of K-10 Cage add a rear tire. Other details as they arrive. 2. lower cage extended it by using Styeren. Secure it to hard body with a couple screws and nuts. 3.scratch build from blank. 4. Keep brainstorminghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a252380ab9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...276726195e.jpg Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk |

Re: Schs2013 Project "Ratty-Trucky Truggy" Wire bender jig arrived a day late but that's not bad. And 10 1/2" magnets.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f99de8d290.jpg Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk |
Re: Schs2013 Project "Ratty-Trucky Truggy" You're gonna bend your own Cage??? I'm assuming here.... So, what are you going to use all that Steryenen for? It's looking like you have a definite plan in mind at this point. Looking GOOD!! ;-) |

Re: Schs2013 Project "Ratty-Trucky Truggy" Took forever to find "Sneaky Pete" inspiration for TRX 4 build. I was 11 years old when I saw this on Google. Now I'm building my own version, thought I would share a little background to this build.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4284782982.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...325499b874.jpg Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk |
Re: Schs2013 Project "Ratty-Trucky Truggy" That's REALLY COOL!! :) The best story I could come up with about my Wraith, is that it took since 2009 to finally get one!! :shock: ....... and only because a good friend BOUGHT her for me. ;-) You're REALLY giving me an inspiration with your Build. I won't copy - but I've got a nearly USELESS HG P402 lying around.... A Semi Cab would be a fantastic comedic topper!!!! :lmao: A Hardbody might actually give that PLASTIC CHASSIS Rig, some well needed rigidity!! I think that's awesome that you held on to that memory, and are getting to recreate it!! |
Re: Schs2013 Project "Ratty-Trucky Truggy" Went to dollar store for masking tape so that the windows will be ready. As previous owner has glued this into place I can't remove it. First masking job for me. Pictures coming this evening. also smoke stacks are glued into place as well so I'll see if I can mask the stacks off. Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk |
