I've been eyeballing this one at work, then I have to go and get the mop to clean the drool off of the floor in that isle

Here's a pic of my DD Moss Green Metallic Cherokee Limited, it's running the 4.0l I-6, AW4 Automatic, NV/NP 242 full time 4wd T-Case and it was ordered without ABS (one of my favorite things about the truck!). All it's got so far is 235/75/15 Wrangler Silentarmors, GE High Output Halogens, Rancho RS5000's up front, Napa Airshocks out back, Drop in K&N in a modded air box (gapping hole dremeled into the front of a bone yard air box), Infinity Reference door speakers, and MPP ignition wires. I do need to replace the factory exhaust and want to replace that with a 2.25" FlowMaster 50 Series SUV muffler, install a Helwig 3/4" rear sway bar, maybe add some urethane front sway bar bushings, some kind of limited slip device (what idiot decided that Jeeps shouldn't have a factory limited slip standard......... ), and new rear speakers. I do wish somebody would make boxed control arms for stock height XJ's though. I wouldn't mind getting my hands one a cleaner, rust free one of these to build into a sleeper (full urethane suspension bushings, Stroked I-6, paddle shifted AW4, bigger sway bars, factory 15x8 wheels with pavement oriented tires, etc, and maybe cop springs and Liberty or ZJ rear disk swap ) The standard drive train is the OBD1 equivalent to mine (this one has ABS so it's got the D35 instead of the Chrysler 8.25" like mine does), plus it doesn't have airbags and is pretty light weight in full luxury form! Sadly I've spent too much on these two this summer instead...................... Just put the new Traxxas Brushless in this one, and have had to rebuild the trans twice and replace two stub axles since then :o BTW, this one is painted with the Model Master Lacquer Plum Crazy and Flat Black paints. I've been told repeatedly that this stuff will flake right off as soon as I wreck it, but I'm still waiting for that to happen and have been wheeling and modding the snot out of this one

Anybody know where to find color pics of late 60's through early 70's vintage Mopar NASCAR, Drag Racing, or Wheelstander paint jobs, preferably in the Red, White, and Blue color scheme? I want to do a body for one of my RC Trucks with a Dodge Ram stadium truck body that will match up with the Hobby Town USA color scheme (my employer). I've been eyeballing the Sox & Martin color scheme, but this truck could easily carry the Little Red Wagon or Hemi Under Glass colors by the way it runs (It'll carry the front tires for about 50 ft at around 30+mph!)

Flat Black Retired and Box Stock Huntley FWD Impala's Beater Caprice Beater G-20 "Day 2" PT Cruiser Convertable

Looks nice!

Didn't know he did one, wonder if that's where I got the idea?

That's a good price!

I'd bet their lacquer primer will be recommended. I did talk to my boss on friday about these paints, we will be carrying them at the St. Charles, Illinois HobbyTown when they become available

It's one of those things that has bugged me for about a decade now, I guess the kid of a former "Custom Rodder" editor did some of the art for the cartoon too.

I was going to build the current AMT reissue as a "Wooden Utility Truck" (basically a "WUT")but screwed it up and I'm going to start again when Revell's 30 comes out.

Hope we get one at work!

These look interesting, I'll have to ask if we'll be getting them at work or maybe at the local Hobby Lobby too. I also have to wonder how well they'll work on lexan, I've had good luck with their multimpart system on RC car bodies.

The black wheels, in a like color with the gray paint!

Good to see you here Mike!

The shop got them through Horizon Hobby, the HTU part number (which should work on Horizon's web site too) is MMI12014 and the offical description is Minicraft Model Kits Military Aviation Bullet Hole Decals.

Could work on a variety of models...............................

ROFL! I thought this was about "spinner" hubcaps as in "spinner" rims style! Maybe I need some sleep!

Can't wait to see this one either!

Beats me, I thought they were airbags for the front suspension until I actually read the instructions!

I can't wait to see how this one looks when you're done!

Holy smokes that looks evil, what color were you going to paint it? I'm voting for black or charcoal!

I saw this one on a non-model related board too, I nearly started drooling on the keyboard at work when I saw it! I'm hoping we can get one in stock, although it may last as long on the shelf as the L700 (never made it past the cash register to the shelf) and '49 Merc Kustoms (spent maybe 20 min on the shelf) did

WOW! Come to think of it, I was wondering where the guys who drew the vehicle for the "Batman" cartoons got their insperation for the medium and heavy duty delivery vehicles.

I've ordered a couple through work and we've gotten them both through Stevens International (IIRC StevensHobbies.com, but don't hold me to that.)

I just picked one up at work the other day, the kit never even made it to the shelf The manager/owner told me he knew I'd buy it if he showed it to me...................I must be pretty predictable, or considering his last profession, Cop's Intuition:rolleyes:
