Got a little work done since the Grasshopper Low is complete. The paint on the chassis seems to just fall off and the paint on the cage, side bars and hood is fighting me the whole way...

Outstanding! I recently aquired a Wild One in decent shape and I am amazed at all the awesome ways this buggy has been interpreted. It really lends itself to creativity. Well done!

Looks great, I'm looking forward to the re-re of the Wild One... I wanted one really bad as a kid. Good think I've actually got cash in my pockets now compared to when I was a kid! :)
