RodneyBad Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'll be house sitting for a week for a friend and needed a out of the box project. Since I'm away from home,I'll be using my Phone camera and hoping for the best. I plan to do it same color as the box since that is what paint I brought with me.

Chuck Most Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Man, that ain't no Suzuki! Wonder if they made the previous body style, so I can turn it into a Dodge Raider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Man, that ain't no Suzuki! Wonder if they made the previous body style, so I can turn it into a Dodge Raider. Naaa, they only made whatever yr this is and a 4dr version. A Montero? Are ya thinking the Squareish Dodge Raider? BTW: it is a suzuki in size Finished up the chassis, shocks and all This is the most I've done on a model in a single day than I ever have. Be working on the interior tomorrow and gotta figure how i'm gonna do the body. Every time I spray paint, I gotta run downstairs and out the back door and the wind aint helpin Can't wait to get back to my own place Friday.

RodneyBad Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Weathered up the chassis so I could install the frame but I think I'm gonna put a Lil 3"inch body lift on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Rodney- That is looking good. I love those times when you've got nothing to have to do but build. It's like being young again. No responsibilities. Those times are few and far between now. Keep it up. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Thanks, the hard part for me is gonna be doing the bottom Gray half, Ugh.. I did manage to get about a 3"inch bodylift bolted on and almost ran out of bolt. THey were just long enough but I can't use a Nut. I just used Craft store Square Silver Vertical Beads that measured 6mm square, or just under 1/4". Just install between frame body mount and floor body mount.

Nick Kittahs and House sitting for 5 long days with out cable TV near the PC. But I got the complete series of Brisco County Jr keepin my entertained It's been a hard few days already but i'm keepin busy building. 2 more days and I'll be back home startin projects and using my Pace spray booth I haven't had chance to test out yet.
