With all the Irons I got floatin around I realized that the smaller 1.9s were gettin left out. They look goofy on the CompCourier and so I always went with the taller tires for performance and clearance. I decided rather than let them sit and rot or sell them, why not build around them. I cant afford another truck entirely or else Ide build another chassis so I set out to build 2 (at least) more Couriers using the same platform. This one will be for smaller 1.9 tires, be scaled out and for less aggressive driving and look like somethin you would see out on the street headin to a trail somewhere. The second will be a more aggressively modded version running the 4.75" tires and look more like a dedicated weekend trail rig that occassionally sees street duty. The CompCourier will be for those times when tall tires, no rules and no limits are required lol.
The Ford Courier only came in 2wd from the factory but a couple companies decided to do a 4wd conversion and one was called the Sasquatch. I did as much research as I could on colors and tried to get the paint to match as close as I could. Most that you find still around today are orange, but the brochure I found shows White, Orange, Yellow, Green and Red were done as well. I have a yellow rig, will build another one in orange and wanted to do a Green as well since the UglyYota and F100 were both green. Went lookin for paint to match the factory as best as possible and stumbled across this awesome green. Was gonna do the Sasquatch in orange and the bigger 1.9 rig in Green but since I still havnt found a suitable orange, I went green...and Im MORE than happy with the way it turned out.
Heres the body all cut out and fit to the frame. If I was building another chassis for this body Ide reduce the front links to bring the wheelbase in some and go for a more mildly modified look, but Ill deal with this. Looks like a weekend warrior Courier that someone stretched the front some for better approach.
Cant seem to find the in-between shots but here she is as of today. Paint and most detail work is done. I plan on adding alot of scale goodies, mirrors, wipers, lights and eventually a drop bed. I took my time on the stripes, they are Sasquatch specific and turned out nice I think!!!
Was even able to make the interior line up which Im VERY happy bout. Still need to finish it up as well but it works for now.
Out on the rocks while waitin for the electrician to swing by lol
Ive taken care of a noticeable alignment issue in the rear of the truck and hope to finish up some details soon. Had to do alot of touchup after a masking issue while doin the black fender flares but it looks good I think.
