Railfreak78 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Knowing you my friend WHO knows?! I'd guess...... Shorty custom van?
charlzrocks Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 Guessing on what it's gonna be........ Shorty is correct but only part of it

charlzrocks Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 rear engine wheel stander pick-m-up truck Correctamundo!!! BUT....................... it just MIGHT be built as a "Back-up Pickup" type wheelstander. If so, it will be sponsored by "Reverse Engineering Inc." and called the "Aroed"!

crazyjim Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 I have a couple of Deoras and have plans to do just the opposite - I want to stretch it out and make a car hauler.

disabled modeler Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 You could take two of them and cut off the back parts....Take the two fronts and put the back of fronts together and make a cool little surf buggy.....I did it as a kid and put surf boards on the top.
charlzrocks Posted March 6, 2010 Author Posted March 6, 2010 I've seen a streched version of the Deora as a car hauler on the forum here. It was hauling a Tony Nancy rail I think. As for making it any shorter, I haven't the 2 kits to do it with but it's an interesting idea! I'm gonna stick with the "Reverse Engineering" wheelstander, it's gonna be cooool!
crazyjim Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 I've the pics of the stretched Deora and that's where the plan hit me. I like the idea of your reversed wheel stander too! I'll be watching your future posts with interest. I have a buch of slicks in the parts bin, but no Roth kits. Do you need the width & height measurements? Pics? What about wheel size?

No problem on those tires, I already have some on the way, but thanks for thinking of it!
charlzrocks Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) some further preliminary work done... I cut out the frame wheel wells so as to better fit the slicks as well as modifying the chassis by cutting out non needed areas. I also cut out the interior engine cover to accomodate steering and some leg room for the driver. I am using a seat that came with a Roth kit as an extra part. I have built a roll cage and covered the interior area that was cut out. more to come. Edited March 22, 2010 by charlzrocks
charlzrocks Posted April 10, 2010 Author Posted April 10, 2010 Body has had 2 sections out to shorten it and preliminary sanding/priming done to expose some flaws. The interior roll cage has been redone and interior is nearly complete.
Railfreak78 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Looks cool so far buddy! This thing can wheel stand the whole track I'm sure!
charlzrocks Posted April 11, 2010 Author Posted April 11, 2010 Looks cool so far buddy! This thing can wheel stand the whole track I'm sure! It may be a bit yet but the next update will be in the underglass section!
rustybill1960 Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I will be looking for it there! Cool build! Later Russ
rustybill1960 Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) AHH MAN! i went back 11 pages till i found the "Ultra Truck" no Deora Edited April 19, 2010 by rustybill1960
