Car 61 ~~ The Rock Cop ~~~ with VID !

[rckjeep]

got the shackles painted up and mounted.

rear tail light/ recovery point done.

beefy :evil:

thanks again to my pops for the shackles.


now i need to make a fuel cell and a gear locker.

propane tanks on the rear deck, or fuel cell under the deck to take up some of the empty slack under there ?
:?:

Dig the trans skid reminds me of a Dana 300 skid on a CJ

You've done an outstanding job. You've really gained some skills since the old Bronco you got off me. Maybe I should send you my current Tundra project and see what you can do with it, see how strong your kung fu is:mrgreen:

"thumbsup"

got a little more work done here...

front winch cradle revamped with new clevis mounting point and new shackle.
( thanks again pops "thumbsup" )
i did cut the bolt after these pics.

seats going back in...

i forgot how much of a pain this truck is to put together. it's like a giant puzzle.
:mrgreen:

next up, styrene work for fuel tank and gear locker.

 

[crunky]

what's that... an update ?
:mrgreen:

i got the front winch cradle mounted on the truck, winch in radio gear all set up.
it runs, still bolting all the little stuff together.

i got the skid plate/ spur guard painted and installed.
no idea why i chose red... up too late one night. i just figured i would be able to tell if it was me that hit ground.
"thumbsup"

i forgot how fun styrene is.

stay tuned !

 

[gyrene]

[Trikahilux]

looking awesome man! love the red trans skid and can't wait to see more. subscribed!"thumbsup"

 

[bigflex]

I just finished reading your whole thread! Great build job with that old truck."thumbsup"

Just an FYI I noticed this pic on page 7. I am the one that built that bender. How are you liking it so far?

 

[crunky]

The bender works good, I had to shim it with a socket to get a little better of a bend without denting the tubing. I found that using sand inside the tube helps to not have it kink.

Still working on the styrene trinkets for the rear deck, and I am ironing out my LED's.

[LR3]

This has to be without a doubt the most badass Hulux trugght ever! This really makes me want to start working with styrene"thumbsup"

 

[crunky]

thanks man, i can't stop now.

Drivers Ready !!!!!
( well kinda, i got another trick up my sleeve. )

since it's a good cop / bad cop rig, i figured i would uphold the stereotypes of local law and get him a fine little floozy to ride with.

i don't know if i'm digging the home made seat belts. they are zip ties inside of black nylon shoe strings. they got fatter as the material bunched up. maybe i can re-adjust them... or maybe it's just on to adding the details and making a few things.

making my powertank.

i really liked a particular power tank put out by a popular maker of fine scaler items. unfortunately i can not afford to play like that.
have torch will fabricate !

... and i'm painting a few things too...

thanks for looking.
keep the replies coming !
:mrgreen:

[crunky]

[crunky]

headed towards home !

getting geared up with the scaleness.

a few outdoor shots.

i have to figure out what to do with the rear suspension. i am thinking i might have to move the shocks to a more upright position, or go with stiffer springs and a set of limiter straps. right now it tends to ride a bit " floppy " in the rear. i have been playing around with springs and just recently switched to some rc3wd dual springs. i had to adjust the spring collars all the way down and it still don't seem to be enough. trails will tell.

hit reply "thumbsup"

 

[CUSTOMHILUX]
