those wheels are the better "baja wheels" you can get on the market now  what about some smaller "BFGs" on the front?

Good thinking on the fronts but I actually have the BFG's and they did not look like a big enough difference to me from the rears. I think if I were to go with different tires up front, they would be skinnies, similar to the original SS. Just my opinion.

I used the mud thrashers in the rear of mine for a difference. Granted mine is not as nice as yours but it did help with the different tire look.

I was basing my inspiration on these bad boy VW's-most of the tires here are same size all around-but there are also a lot that have wide and skinny as well.

Steering is mocked up works-servo is just there with double stick for position. I have a new servo coming in tomorrow-will mount more securely. I also made a front brush bar and modified the SS front to slide over it. I couldn't help myself with the skull....maybe too much bourbon in the shop last night...

This is the coolest scorcher I have seen, Are you going to sell copies of the chassis??Is the larger size tubing made from hollow brake line?

You are freaking sick!!!
  This is the best SS/baja build ever! I would really like one! Rollcage and rear suspention would be nice  As I'm into useing the original radiobox I guess the chssia wouldn't work. So a flat chassie with rollcage and rear suspention please   If you ever would build to sell, for god sake please let me know!!! I really like what you done with the front suspention! Is it possible to have a pic of the tyres/wheels beside original SS wheels? Do you thing the MT's works on original SS fronts and rear? Badboy

I started to work on an engine to stuff in the rear. Although I am stuck with it, I hate the SRB gearbox. It sticks out the back way too far and is a bear to cover up. Anyway, I made the oil tank from steel, used some turnings and metal parts I had around for detailing. The block is from the 1/9th Revell Kubelwagen kit that I have been slowly purging for different builds. I still need to make an exhaust and have yet to do more blending of the block into the gearbox to try to mask it as much as possible.
