crazyjim Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Well, here's the Jeep I was planning to build as a gasser but it ends up as an altered. Paint is HOK limetime pearl. I put a Hemi in there and set it back a little bit. Got it all wired up. I put the battery in back along with a tube bumper that would be filled with lead for weight transfer. I think the front springs came from a '37 Chevy kit with an aluminum axle. Front wheels are from the '56 Ford kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Some paddle tires and you have a sand racer! Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thanks Jesse. I have a set of paddle tires but was saving them for a dune buggy build. Now that you mention a sand racer, I might have to do some research on them and see what happens. Thanks for the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thank you Jeff. There was plenty of room for the Hemi even with setting it further back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnout Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I like it! Cool model. I drive a green Jeep and have been looking for HEMI logos to stick on the sides just for laughs. This makes me want to do it even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
