Geeze Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 That looks fantastic, top work Think putting in some shock mounts off the rear frame to lose the plastic shock hoops and bodypost mounts would perfect it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombi Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 As already said said, loving the colour scheme mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusherjay Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys I do plan to put more frame work at the rear but I'm just waiting for the new shocks to arrive then I can get them in the right place. There is going to be a spare wheel carrier too within the frame Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Edited April 28, 2015 by crusherjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusherjay Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 If you just want to build the odd cage you could braze it but for speed and ease a tig welder is the way to go Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie666uk Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Wouldn't have thought you'd need much more than 30 amps for that. Gonna be making a cage myself in the next few weeks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 chevy fleetsider , the clod superclod used a 70's onwards body, the pumpkin used a pre 70's body this is what happens when an rc guy likes lots of offoraders and decides to use them all in his real life version. at its heart is a fleetsider lol wouldnt think that ?
