Thanks.

I was hoping you were joking! :lol:

I'm not sure I want to spend another couple hours on another set of tires!

I can't wait to see your project!

A Losi based Dune Buggy would be cool.

Didn't you have a Sand Scorcher in the works too?

Thanks!

Dedication?...more like blind ambition. :lol:

I think that sweet 'Cuda project of yours helped to get me going again. :D

Scale projects are way more fun than the restoration of the week stuff.

Nope,

Making a modern style hot rod inspired...err, dune buggy. :)

A '60's buggy has to have an obnoxious color..

No flowers for this one.

The roof was much easier to mask & spray w/Krylon Fusion.

..and the texured paint looks scale!

Now the detail process begins...

I might "scale up" this idea, it's close, but not close enough..

I might be able to make it look like a VW engine with a little work.
