Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted May 20, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2023 had a good run out with the fury this morning and moving the battery tray worked real good, had a big roll down a steep bank, this took out a mirror lens and lost a windscreen wiper and small water tank but found all but wiper ha ha, needs a clean now but tempted to just let it get VERY USED looking 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 ordered a new shell to try and fit on the Fury chassis..........a carisma Ford F-150 313mm ...........this will be fun trying to make it work but think it will go on, will make magnetic mounts so no visible posts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Cool mate and i hope new shell fits with minimal fettling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 Body and paint has arrived, looks like it will fit nicely, will have to use smaller tyres, lucky i have a set that will work well, body will be on magnetic mounts for the clean look. a few colours to pick from but i think it will be British racing green, but not set in stone as yet, had planned on spearmint but having done a test piece not so sure now, this will be some time in prepping and paint as not gonna rush it and get it wrong 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 Oh dear, this is already starting to become a full scale job, im now painting the black light buckets silver like they should be prior to building the front grille 😀 Have rough trimmed the wheel arches on the shell and its sitting very nice, should get perfect ride height with bottom of shell just on the rock sliders, and decided to go with British racing Green..................................of course it goes with out saying this will not be used in anger, it will be a trail truck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me personally it's a little high for a trail truck. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 Got a bit of a stumbling block, cant get the grille to fit tight to the front of the body, seems to have a gap about 1.5mm in a couple of places, more work with the Dremmel i think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Range Rover body and it’s very hit and miss in places very thin literally can rip a hole in some places just by pushing it in with very minimal force I’m not overly impressed with it as I to have the same issue with the front grill doing the same thing but it’s going to be beaten with an inch of its life anyway so I’m not really worried about it that much but would be pretty annoyed if it was for a shelf queen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 Feeling very let down by the Carisma F-150 shell, just cant get the grille to fit at each end, im feeling i may have to waste even more money and get a different shell, i have put it to one side for now or i will just lose my rag with it 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
