Jeep Rock Buggy

[deward]

This is my first post here, hopefully not my last so please be kind .

This is the first time I've used styrene tube and I am learning as i go, so the quality of the bends are not that great but i am satisfied with it. The Jeep hood, grill, and firewall come from the daisy dukes jeep and is the only thing i will be using from the kit. everything else will be scratch built or parts box. This will be about 90% scratch built

and now for the pictures

The rear bar will be cleaned up before paint so don't worry about the spot with the putty.

Racing seats are from the Aoshima lifted 4 runner.

And here is how it is now, just some more tubing added.

I have a suggestion, use rod, not tube. Rod won't kink on you.

Great concept and start there. Another suggestion to avoid the kinked tubing is to insert a wire in the tube and then bend it.

Thanks for the suggestions, I know a few of the bends are not perfect but for my first time i like the results.
