Project Cloverfield: #049 S.O.R. Jeep XJ

Hitman I may need you to make a "hit" on someone in customs... I really think that I am going to puke. It's been over a month since Stephan shipped....

The bad, well there was some damage. Detailed pics tomorrow!
 
Whew..., Glad to hear you finally recieved it Bob "thumbsup"- But also sucks to hear about the damage..:x Hope its something that can be fixed easily enough.
 
Great looking rig, glad it finally made it.

Guessing this has something to do with the damage?

No, that is just the steering link that would hook up to the servo arm. But It didnt come with electronics so that is just hanging there.

Damage includes, Rear bumper cracked, Some scratches on one fender flare and rear door and one rock slider is slightly bent. You cant notice it with the body off but when the body is on the slider doesnt line up perfectly.

Also since it was wrapped in bubble wrap for 45 days, on the roof there are small circles EVERYWHERE in the paint. Automotive paint so maybe i can wax it and they will be gone???

Pics tomorrow

This this really is a work of art. Maybe Ill just sell all of my other rigs and just keep this one...:flipoff: OH and the 4runner the Mike is building me of course!

Sorry to hear about the damage. Mine have shown up perfect so far.

You think you like this out of the box. Wait until you drive it. Mine are butter smooth. Your's has Stefan's running gear correct? Or is it RC4WD...:shock::cry:
 
b4 u wax it compound it and it will remove any marks. i noticed when waxing my bronco if it had water spots and i waxed over them it would be like they are waxed into the paint and is a b!tch to remove.

Yeah it seems flawless. As for running gear it is Stefan's running gear and the 2010 chassis set up with coils in front leafs in rear. It does not have the Robbe axles and it has the RC4WD T-Rex mini's

b4 u wax it compound it and it will remove any marks. i noticed when waxing my bronco if it had water spots and i waxed over them it would be like they are waxed into the paint and is a b!tch to remove.

Thanks Yeah the wax would seal the marks in.

Driver side rock slider slightly bent. Hard to see but with the body on you can see it bends inward slightly.

More scratches

Hard to see but there are 100's of tiny circles on the roof from being wrapped in bubble wrap for 45 days. I think I can get these off. The paint on the hood is flawless so I hope I can get the roof the same.

the detail on this thing is insane, even the rear hatch lock looks like its ready for some keys.

sucks about the damage, looks like the boys in customs were playing soccer.
 
Thanks guys!

Some Outdoor pics with Cloverfield's new tow rig!!! Picked up the Ford Super Duty from Bonards29 on scale4x4. It is sick!!!! Neil did a fantastic job building the Ford. Now I have something to take my XJ wheeling in case something breaks I can get her home!
