Here is a comparison to show you how small the body is

ok these are a little older, I recently remoounted the body and it makes it more scale

The chassis is a shortened kyosho tracker

zebra stripes. looked great on my 1:1 Scout til it rusted so bad the body fell off

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

it looks like a Barbie safari jeep to me. i hope you had as much fun cleaning it as you did messing it up as a child. i burned army men, i dont suppose i could fix those.

Dunno if any paint would stick to those oily plastics. maybe a laqure based one would etch it enough to hold.

You should beat that thing with a Hammer, and find out how tough it really is! :lol:

I second that vote!!! hmmm. where did i put the ol shotty? bwaahaaa. Ya know i am not one to insult anyone and i dont mean to, BUT, im kinda wondering why on earth you would waste your time with something like that... I mean come on a barbie jeep?? I suppose it could look ok if ya painted it in a different color but to restore it in pink and white???? wtf!!! lol. Actually i guess the only circumstance (sp?) would be if you were building for your little girl...then ok thats cool but if its for your own pleasure....lol :twisted: ...I dont know man...maybe its tooo late and im just not getting it??? :shock:

 

[bluriot]

Well, guys nearly done, just the paint and some other stuff so please tell me what you guys think of it! :mrgreen:

Trust me man it will be painted, and moon buggy the reason for the posts so close to each other is because I had this on another forum, and I thought I'd share it with you guys, but anyway back to the point I took it out for a spin yesterday and the wheelbase is so short that tis thing can throw wheelies with a stock motor :mrgreen:
