Rubicon Tuber
#2 |
|
| Starting off with the same HPI body as the last one, cutting away a bit more of the body though. |
 |
| I started on the front end when I shattered my last cutting wheel. |
 |
| closed off the top of the windshield and added a lower windshield support. The front stinger I made isn't going to work like I wanted, so I made a different one. |
 |
| I made
a one piece shock mount support/stinger mount. There are only
three pieces of tubing in this pic. Tomorrow I'll add the new stinger, front shock mounts and cross braces, then that moving back to the cab area. It's going to be an SUV style cage. |
 |
| Brazing rod is flowing like butter today, and this tuber is nearly done. A couple panel fastening points and some shock and link mounts and this one is in the mail... |
 |
| I got a little funky with the rear end, it definitely has some character now. |
 |
| Just want to add a couple more small braces here and there on the front end, and it's done as well. |
 |
| This
thing has 24 bolts in it! From attaching body panels to shock
mount plates to belly pan, it just added up! Here is the layout for the body side panels and hood. Once I drill the belly pan for mounting screws and make the shock plates then primer it, it ships! The pic doesn't show the side panel very well, but you can see the screws that are holding it on! |
 |
| Finally done... |
