So I just picked up this little treasure, got it from the neighbors garage sale 100% stock in great shape for $1.50.

My brother had a shop full of spare parts so I got to work. Sorry for the crummy pictures, camera was acting up

Here it is in its glorious unmolested form

I had a hard time finding rimz/tires to fit those axles, so once again I had to go bigger, found a sweet deal on some k'nex axles with a sweet wheel/tire combo

IMG_1282.jpg


Stretched it a few MM while I was at it

IMG_1283.jpg


Testin out my new clearance

IMG_1284.jpg


Nice departure angle

IMG_1286.jpg


Still lousy flex

IMG_1287.jpg


Tried to add some cage protection but couldn't find the right parts

IMG_1289.jpg


Kinda copied Avanteone's idea and put a cooler on the back

IMG_1290.jpg


Got some protection up front

I realized I needed some more power to turn these tires, so I threw a big block motor in with a blower and NOS

Was dancing on the roof, thinking about jumping off, but then I remembered what happened to Horus

I have a legit chopped lego Jeep I made when I was a kid, it also has actual springs in the axles...so I can flex it. hahaha :)
