Crazed Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Old "Diamond in the rough kit that was half built, decided to do a 4x4 conversion after I saw some wheels from Scenes Unlimited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazed Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Picked up a AMT "Super Stones" kit to use for parts, put the front axle onto the 53 leafs, and used the lift springs and rear axle from the stones kit as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazed Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Decided to use the 460 from the stones as well, decided to make the transfer case a mated one instead of divorced, ended up removing all the crossmembers and making my own.

DumpyDan Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Well done, this looks really good the 4x4 works well on this kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazed Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Worked on it a little started making an exhaust, then started looking at the half done 15+ year old paint and decided to freshen it up. First paint I have done in many years, the Tamiya rattle cans seem to flow pretty well. Laid on some white primer on the whole thing, sanded mold lines and stuff out, then re primed and put on a little red.
