Looks good. Wish i hadkept all my old 1:1s. Has to be sickening to loose a car in a fire.

Our son passed in 2019 from cancer at the age of 26. Since then every year i build a rocket and launch some of his ashes over the house n into the woods. This year my father in law passed and the wife was telling my brother in law about us launching rockets. So he liked the idea and i built this one. I used to try and come with paint schemes. I think it was 2 years ago i just did it in chrome and a punisher decal. After years of doing this i have about perfected my task. The chrome one i left out the parachute since we never recover them. Being chrome and hitting close to 1200 to 1400 ft maybe more. It reflected the sun like crazy as it spun down. And since we are close to ft knox the have stuff flying around. Well the rocket dumped its load in a big puff and i mean in a split second an apache helicopter was over my house. Must of been flying stealth mode because we did not hear it. Most awesome launch ever. This year i am also making some aluminum foil confetti to the pay load. Maybe we will get another visit. Here it is in primer. Duplicolor black. in spaz mirror. And with the decals. just add the engine mount and it is ready to fly.

Lol. My 99 had 4:10 gears, van guard rear bumper n tire carrier, the 1 ton kit in the transfer case, a terra flex SYE, and a bunch more. Long way away from that on daughters. Do have the 1 ton kit and the van guard bumper and 10s axles for the rear probably other stuff i forgot.

I have a 2001 cherokee , actually daughters but it was to be a daddy daughter project. I had a 99 that i had done a ton of work on but one day a brake line busted in town. Took it to a buddies shop and it was stolen. Not moving as fast on daughters. But i did install a viper coil to replace the POS coil rail. Really simple up grade. The dodge V 10 uses a 6 pack coil and a 4 pack coil. You can build a wire loom connector and buy the wires but it is easier to buy a kit. Has been needing plugs changed for some time but them coil rails are notorious for breaking and misfiring. So i installed the new coil and E3 plugs. the bracket fits over the coolant jug using the 2 screws to hold it in place, that is the weak point. It is a bit of weight to only be held with 2 screws, not bolts but screws. But it is still worth it. Also have the headlight harness upgrade. I did put that on my 99 and it really helped brighten the headlights. It is a harness with 2 relays that basically makes the headlight switch just a switch, it takes all the voltage and heat off of the switch. Just have to remove the grill and headlights. Funny how many upgrades can been done to the basic vehicle. The XJ is about the perfect SHTF BOV once you do a little work to it. The 1999 is about the best one.

Thanks Carl.

Thanks. I think i used panel liner marker on the dash. But i am going to have break up all that white with brown.

Cool project. Great work. Looks really good.

Looking really good.

Nice work. Looking good

Nice work. Looks great.

Started this a few months ago. It has a story. First part of February i was in the hospital, my father in law passed he was 82. I have been in the family since 86 when i met my wife, we married in 92. Worked in family plumbing business 26 years until we had issues. Don't get me wrong he was a great guy. Just not a business man. I grew up poor n from the wrong side of the tracks. The wifes family wasn't rich but they did not want for anything either. DW DW( dear wife) would talk about how her brother would sneak the old mans bronco out and go 4 wheelin in a local park. When they got stuck they would go get the back hoe n pull it out. She says he got away with everything. Heck she drove around in a 72/73 triumph spitfire. The old mans bronco was a metallic brown and white accents to side trim no fender flairs. It sat for years even had pot pkants growing in the interior. But the old man had all new body parts for it i mean everything door jambs and all. Poor thing will probably never move again. Brother in law has it at his place. So i am building this one for him. Wish i could have found the 1st kit. I painted this one with emberglo as it is close. Stripped off the chrome and painted grill,rims, n bumpers valejo ivory. Trying to decide on wiring the engine or not. Not really liking the black but it is done n not changing it.

Theres a lot of mold lines for a moebius.

Man some super sharp builds. Thanks for posting the tips. I have a A-10 and a Huey i would like to build but i want to clean the seams and now i know.

Great looking paint.

Nice work.

Is that a resin kit? I know moebius had some hornet kits and they are great. But a dremel would make quick work of removing the un wanted part. But use a mask i hear resin is bad for ingestion.

I have a bunch of my prescription bottles i use for various stuff. Was using for blades. The taller ones i use for pin vise n another for scriber. Then i have been putting quarters in the shorter ones. I put 25 bucks in each then use them at the car wash.

Thanks.

Nice color mix. Looks great.

That is cool.

I was in germany 84 n 85 and them cars held their value like crazy. Air ride and went you turned them off they lowered to the ground automatically.

Not sure how much work i will put in it yeti have one duster built not sure i have any others stashed. But yours is looking good Dan.

Thanks.

Thanks Bob. I probably have 8 or more that need to be stripped.
