Hello i finnally got some work done on my Scouts one will be a show truck type and the other will be an all out trail rig along the lines of what i hae already built in the pass still unsure how i want the suspension on it should i go with the 39"Swampers and leaf springs or go with a cut tread 44" Boggers the trail ride will have a stock based engine with port injection and the other will be ..... not sure if i want a small block or a blown big block yet i still have ALOT of work to do on the doors of the trail rig since i couldnt find a Scout with the inserts i figured i would try to make my own i did find someone who was selling a resin body with the inserts but i just didnt see paying 40 bucks for it the lnes on the trail rig are just me seeing what it might look like with that area cut away anyway heres some pics for laughter any and all comments are very welcome Thanks, Willie

Hey Willie. I think you'll do fine on them doors and the frames look pretty good too. I'm stuck on the motor thing also. Everything just isn't fittin' like I expected. We'll figure it out, I'm sure.

Looking good Willie! I like the scratched frames & the door inserts...no need for the rare kit or a resin body when yours will be just as good (better actually). Cutting the wheel openings on these make a big improvement in the looks...especially with some big ol' meats on there! You can always make some big flares out of the HDU foam (you did get a sample kit, didn't you? ). Now that we're not sticking to a deadline, I may build my own frame, too. The 84 GMC frame just isn't quite right...

I was saving my "WOW, great job" for later but it just can't wait! Very cool! Those inserts are very strange. I wonder why the complexity. John

Willie, the door work looks great. And I never thought to cut some Boggers (just another scoop o' potatoes on an already full plate).

Thanks guys i agree John these are far more complex then the ones used on the older Broncos i still have some work to do i'm hoping to have most of the body done on this one by the end of the wekend still have the tranny tunnel,inner fender wells,radiator support and the rest of the firewall to go to have the rough work done then to fine tune all of it as for the tires how about i send you 1 and then you could cast me 5 more and how many you need LOL if i could cast them i would i wouldn't know where to begin Hey Larry you can never have enough taters on your plate LOL Willie

Hope you feel better soon Willie! In the mean time, you're doing some nice work for being sick! I like the cut-up Bogger, as John said, perfect it & have one of our casters reproduce them & add to their catalog.
I'd buy 'em! ;D
