I have been messing around with this one for a couple weeks. I havent had time for models for a long time now, but I managed to sqeeze this one in to get back in the swing of things.
Nothing uber-fancy or high-detail, just trying to make a nice offroader that looks more realistic than from the kit. I hate the gaps between the body and floorboard. So, I boxed it all in, not factory looking, but rather what a cheap guy like me would do to his rusted floors and fenderwells. While I was at it, I whacked off the roof, boxed in the interior tub to hide the gaps. Also, I was after a little more lift, but in the process I ended up building new leaf springs and hangers, which will in turn mean new driveshafts and everything else. I just wanted something simple, but as usual, I went to far.
