'67 Jeepster

[mrglubaum]

Well, I'm currently in a 4X4 frame of mind. I've had some projects I've wanted to finish, and some new ones I've been wanting to work on! I went through the forum and looked at everything everyone else is working on, and got some more inspiration!
I think it started when I picked up the new reissue of the Jeep Commando kit. What a cool kit! two sets of tires and four sets of wheels! Then I found that it had most of the parts for the old Jeepster kit! I decided to backdate the kit to a '67 Jeepster.
I started a little tutorial on how to make the Commando into an older Jeepster. Here's the link:

Very creative and impressive results. I like what you did to this kit, excellent job on this one. I can;t wait to see this complete.

Hey- Anything new on the Jeepster? You inspired me to backdate mine, and I used your innovative idea for the fenders- Good one! Now, while I've been waiting to see what you do next (hint!) I butchered the wee out of a CJ7 hood and am getting closer to an acceptable fit. Trouble is, bodywork isn't my strong suit. Hope it works out, there's no going back. Got anything yet? Cheers- Chris

It's been a while since I've had a chance to work on this one. I did pick up an old junker original so I can make resin copies of the original hood. Problem now is getting the time from my work schedule to get my molds made up for that and several other items!

Now that is a cool project Lee.

Hey- And progress on this puppy yet? Mine's on hold along with everything else because I'm packing for a move, so I gotta live vicariously through everybody else! What's new?
