I think the hardest part of this build is going to be getting a body that will fit this chassis...I do not like it when the front corners of the chassis peek out from under the body so the only body I know of like that is the Renegade body.

I heard rumor that Andy's was re-releasing the Renegade body but after trying to contact Andy himself many times...

Chance of Renegade body = Zero

Here are some super cool custom shock towers that gomachv made for me. The fronts allow the use of 1.02 shocks and still allow the nose of the body to go through the tower.

The rear tower allows for the use of the B5 wing mount. Cool stuff!

As I was doing some quick research, I stumbled upon this beauty... which never got the forum love it deserved... because it was posted in the 10t forum! :lol:

Can mods move this so orangemazda's gorgeous Andy's can get the recognition it needs?

Thanks for the kind words. My Andy’s tribute started out as a truck but then the project morphed into the project it is now.

In fact, I recently bought a few more parts for it. I’ve recently bought some Andy’s trailing arms and an Andy’s rear bulkhead to add soon. Stay tuned! :D
