This kit I desided to make it custom because there wasn't many parts to it!! I shaved all the trim to clean up the body, It's sitting on 92 mustang suspension, and I think it looks awesome!! I might try to lower the front some more.

and here is the custom cover for it

The paint I'm going to use is testors one coat lacquer inca gold. I'm going to tape up the top and try to simulate a vinal top even though they never came with one(I think). It will be black and I it will look cool!!

More updates are soon!! Let me know what you think.

hahahaha... I was thinking the same thing.

Anyway about the car, the door panels look wonderful, the only thing I would add is some sort of speaker pod... flesh out the entire door panel some.

Cool project... about 6 months there was a Bronco II pro street featured in Truckin'...if you would like some pictures, I would be glad to scan them.

I am going to add a speaker to each door, I just forgot to say that. If you don't mind scaning those pictures that would be great!! and thanks for the comments guys and more progress soon.

Cool looking Project ya got going on.

Cool door panels.

Like the color choice..

Nice in the weeds stance for an Ole 4x4

[Modellpularn]

Looks cool! You turned an uncool car into cool just by dropping it on the ground. Kind of makes me want to get one.... How about if you fixed that rear side window? Remove that slant..... I'm not too fond of that "styling" I think it would look much better.

Looks cool! You turned an uncool car...

I resent that!

I think it gives the truck a unique look that makes it different. If I remove it I think it looks like a bronco. But thanks for the sugestion!!! never would of thought of that

[Jared Roach]

Hey guys! Been awhile since I got some stuff done on this thing but now I'm going a totally different direcion on this thing. It's now prostreet and has alot of work done, but still alot to go!! First I half cabed it because I seen that bronco and so I wanted to do it like that. I cut open the doors but there not glued on yet so they don't look right. ( the drivers side door was being glued on while I took the pics. I've just started building the tube chassis, This is my first time so tell me what you think. I still have to replace some piceses and still have to build the rest up, but it's a start! And I still have to shorten the rear axle so it will fit in between the frame ralls because of the slicks!! I'm going to build the bed after this so tell me what you think!

Rember it's my first time buildin a frame! thanks for lookin and tell me what you think!!

[Guest arni]

Looks good so far,keep it coming.

Dig the half cab.

[Jared Roach]

Hey guys!! update!!! Ok I've been workin on it on and off for about a month. First I shortend the rear mustang axle so it would fit the slicks. Than I made my first roll cage and I think it turned out pretty good for my first try. Now I have been workin on the body work for a while now and it's almost ready for paint!!! But I do still have some work to do like build the bed, (which I still haven't done yet) And get the body, door jambs and the half cab finished but there close!! I have a question for you guys what color should I paint it?

blue with red roll cage and frame OR testors one coat laqeur inca gold with black accents?

Let me know and here are some pics!!

Thanks for lookin guys and tell me what you think and what color I should paint it!

[Nick Winter]

I like it. I voted for the blue, I think all internationals look good in blue especially Scouts.

[belowambient]

gold with a black cage? other than that i love your project! i have quite a few friends that have internationals, so there is a soft spot i have for them as well... keep it up!!

[Jared Roach]

Thanks! I somehow leaning towards the gold for some reason my self! I'll see what the poll say though.

[Jared Roach]

You'll see what I mean because If it did go gold I would two tone with black on the top, and MAYBE do the cage in gold but I think it would look better in black.

[Car Crazy 81]

Jared- I'd voted for inca gold i'd find its different because you dont see too many Scouts in gold and also paint the roll cage gold as well and leave the wheels in chrome thats just my opinion.

[Jared Roach]

ok guys, well I desided to dig this one out again and get some work done on it!

I have to get some more styrene because I'm all out of it, but this is as far as I got, going to redo the frame rails and stuff but it is fitting alot better then the way it came outta the box, also got the body work 85% complete, but still needs work

I'm also going to redo the hinges, since the doors aren't working very well.

Thats it for now guys, when I get more styrene this will be updated and the 81 bronco,

thanks for lookin.

[Blake Rogers]

dude ur the man i love it keep it up for a guy ur age ur really good

[Jared Roach]

ok guys, have an update.

Not a good one though.

I was finishing the body work and te cab broke on one of the pillers.

So I fixed that problem.....

The roll cage was my first atempt at building one, so it's being redone.

Thats going to be the stance when its all finished.

Thats it for know guys, thanks for lookin

[MikeeD]

I like the idea. That's going to be way slick when it's done. I've always loved non-mainstream rods, they fuel the imagination!

Good job so far...I can't wait to see it done!
