Coles dropped this monster off at the comp Saturday for me to hack up. Then I left without the thing so I had to drive back to Freddies today to pick it up So to get even with it, I attacked it with a Dremel, taking out the back doors and rear sunroof.![]() I still have to do something with the fugly rocker panels. I already hacked a half inch off the bottom. Now it's got an 11-inch wheelbase. I think he got the body on fleabay. I have no idea who made it. |

Closer to 1/8 scale, but who knows how those chinks market these things. All I know is this aero package is a pain in the ass. |

yeah scale is a weird thing from body to body. I think that is the same one they have at toys r us and I agree more like 1/8 scale. maybe it is the size sell's thing bigger is better, who knows. have fun with the ground effects. what are you gonna do just chop the rear bumper off to? how wide is it? |

Never measured it. Looks like a good fit for TLT axles. The ground effects weren't that hard to deal with. I cut 'em off with an X-Acto and glued them back on flush-mounted. A little filler and they'll disappear. The rear bumper, not sure. I'll think of something. |

Primer is on, still need to finish off the bumper but I wanted to see what it looks like so far ![]() ![]() Just a guide coat to see where the flaws are, but there aren't too many. Mostly in the joint in the roof where all the damn roofrack bars sit. Those are a pain to sand around. |

the holes around the windows remind of a sound off ride with the super thick lexan windows.. it would look pretty sweet with some 22's and low profile tires. and a huge set of speaker's and amps in the back. |

Nick, NAPA Colorline. It's a good compromise between cheap and sweet. I'd pony up for the good stuff but I use so damn much of it I'd go broke. The cheap stuff is too thin and doesn't sand or cover worth a crap. Tom, no idea. All's I know is he asked me to hack it up. Matt, the Chi-com RC comes with a trunk full of subs, but Coles took 'em out. I think he's gonna have fun getting the headliner back in, too. Got some more sanding done tonight, and sorted out the bumper. Should be ready soon

Stu you are the ish, definately the sickest. I love it! I'm never doing body work agian. Tom, this is going to be a new project. The short bus is a tubed out full size Blazer now w/a few problems that need worked out. It's gonna sit on 22's w/40's, not too lo profile. 8 shooters w/either Imex claws or Proline dirt works. I have both sets on the way. I'm gonna narrow them up & see what looks better. The interior is all blinged out w/screens, amps & big subs, but I'm gonna take it down a notch. |

If you wanna run a roof rack we can call it done The only place that's noticeably un-sweet is the joint at the back of the roof, and the rack will cover that. You want me to ship it, or bring it out on Saturday? |
