jeep body on MMT

[mooman007uk]

wanted to do zebra stripes but the ones i tried drawing looked like cack...a big sloppy pile of it:no:....drawing and arsty farsty stuff is not my forte...at all...
so bodged it with some masks i had laying around...balls'ed up the rear quarter windows with to big a black stripe.. it should have all been white but i ran out of masks so couldn't do any more stripes...so bodged it...also got some bleed under some of the masks:rolleyes:... it's gonna get wrecked anyhow so no biggie...looks ok from a distance.

with a bit of trimming body will drop down another tad at front and 3/4" at the rear...just have to weld a rear mount plate on my rear bumper, trim the front fenders a tad and shoe goo the crap out of the boxy corners and edges, affix some old plastic roll cage to top and sides of windshield and at the back where the roll cage is painted in so the first roof landing doesn't flatten it.
should look pretty cool with 4 paddles bolted on

Now that dose look sweet, mooman it would even sweeter if you can some how get hold of the tires that they use in the icelandic hill climbing that would be sick :punk:

WOW Julian, that looks awsome! THe scale of the body is perfect. Love it. Great job on the paint, it looks good.

thanks guysfor the + :)...it's now a flat fender at the front and front body mounts are done..sickboy...I've 4 paddles to bolt, put 2 on one side quick tonight and looks pretty cool...i wish though someone would make some bigger and wider paddles...the hpi ones are a bit too small for my liking..going to try the unconquered hill with the MT tires first just to see how it does compared to the pig with paddles

I'll have the rear mount welded up tomorrow and work on strengthening the top of the body..itching to get to that hill now

Looks cool, I painted my 1:1 scale autograss race car like a cow - it mooooooved quite well.

Looks really good Moo!!!

I think it'll be great with the 4 paddles. :punk:

[Clubin]

It'll look like those Icelandic mountain climbing Jeeps.

[mooman007uk]

that's the plan

finished fitting and trimming , welded up a mount on the back and just had to trim the fenders a bit..I think it looks way better as a flattie.
fired it up for a quick run in the driveway...just a bit of shoe gooing to do and it's ready for the hill...MT tires first to see how far it gets then on with the paddles to try and conquer it

It's looking great! I bet it'll look better going up the hill. ;)

[Pipeous]

ok so my demented brain just had an odd thought.... I picture a zebra moo'ing like a cow, kinda like the easter bunny that clucks like a chicken... you need to get one of those canned moo things. you know when you flip them over it moo's? mount that inside your chassis somewhere. LOL what a hoot

[mooman007uk]

I'll be mounting my mooscot on the back this time...or maybe I'll cut a hole in the windshield to stuff his head thru:D
