bronco69 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 WOW, I don't know how you guys do it, but VERY nice work!! Here I am worried about if my kit bash 4x4's tires will fit in the wheel base...LOL. On a second note, wjat do you use for bondo/body forming? I used model puddy back in the early 90's and it took forever to dry and never worked out like I wanted it to.
fordh8r Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I like the mix of bodies, great job with the finish. Another quality build from what I've seen on this forum.
