Maybe I’ll do the Bronco in that outlandish Japanese custom style, what’s it called? The z’s valance sticking out reminds me of it.

Bosozoku?

^^ that's it! Thanks.

Grabbed a decal sheet at flea market hobby shop over weekend.

Little progress on the 240zed safari:

There’s not enough room inside for a roll bar/cage so I fabbed an exo-skeleton of sorts to which the basket with lights and spare tire will be attached.

Had to hog out the wheel arches for tire clearance.

Next I’ll fab a front brush bar.

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

I think it’s done.

How about these for a chassis swap?

@OddJob i would be interested as well.

Picked up this metal earth model because I thought it was a cool. It would be a cool rod to build for this type of build off ...

May need to be a tweezers and magnifying glass build...

Ha. A two yr old thread that never finished. Should probably be in the "Show Me Your..." forum since it's not a build challenge, but hey I'm not a moderator I just snoop here once in a while.

. We could always start a thread similar to the first version of this challenge.

If others besides @KJV and myself are interested we could start a thread wherever is appropriate and see how it goes.

Carl, you wanna do this for the fall as well?

I'm a snoop, instigator and a bad influence apparently.

But also not a moderator. We could always start a thread similar to the first version of this challenge.

That would be a great idea.. two of you start and I'm sure others will join in.

As far as moving it we can just leave it where it is and they can start a new thread.
@OddJob you good with them starting there own challenge based on your challenge?

Hopefully the dates are OK.

I went out on a limb. Let's see if it breaks.
