A bit of progress,
Made these (bumper and motor guard) on the weekend, they need a bit more sanding and they are almost ready to install.

Wow, great looking pieces you made. Can't wait to see the finished product .

Neat project!

I had always wanted to do a steathy Sand Scorcher by using one of these conversions.
It would be cool to do a semi-scale VW pan type chassis with the 'Scorcher's front end, & the (light years) better rear trans & suspension...

wow, nice work Miguel!

Hard to believe where you started with this project. It's progressed very nicely.

Any more thought's on a body, or did I miss a post...wouldn't be the first time

Miguel this just keeps getting nicer and nicer! Great job on the bumpers!

Some one did this already but I can't find the link.

Yea, this project is looking better every day. You are going to like the next photos later this week.
Not sure about the body, I wanted to see what I have in stock but I am thinking I want an aftermarket body. I really never liked how any RC10 body fits the A&L rear end, so I am thinking.

Thanks for all the comments... I actually made this sort of bumper for my RC10 Racers a long time ago and sold some on the B/S/T thread. I did made some extra ones this time to sell a bit later.

I had to make this one shorter than the regular bumper because my chassis front end is shorter than other A&L chassis I have seen. It did not look like it was cut or anything but the space from the most front screw holes to the front tip of the chassis looks shorter than other I have seen.

Hey Miguel, is kydex dyable? They used some at work last month on the walls (by the 4x8 sheet) and I snagged a few scraps form the trash. Only thing is they're kind of off white/tan in color.

Your A&L is looking great. Cannot wait for the next update!

Well, these go to eleven...

I am taking this one to 12.

------------

kydex is not dyable, at least the ones I have, I do have a white one and is very white but not white as paper and you cant dye it.

PROGRESS

- Change the wheels
- bigjeepzz Spring collars
- custom front and rear bumper install
-
I am waiting for the rear bulkhead to arrive so I can fit it and start concentrating on the body.











More pics later, after new rear bulkhead is install and I star working on the body and wing.

I think I've found my new favorite!

SWEET.

Hard to believe what this looks like now if you saw it how I did when I found it Great work Mig!!

Yea Reg, this car is looking a lot better than I originally expected when It arrive at my door step. Thinking that I was going to throw the chassis away, this car has a lot of hand labor on it and it was all worth it.

I really REALLY like this build. Top job!

m_vice, you sir have done a wonderful job on this buggy! I can only hope mine comes out half as good as yours.
