Check out the repop they made of the Tamiya Sand Scorcher on EBAY or on Youtube before the paint flys  It may inspire. |

Check out the repop they made of the Tamiya Sand Scorcher on EBAY or on Youtube before the paint flys It may inspire. I will check into that. I am trying that Paint Shop by Duplicolor. It seems ok but goes on real thin, Takes a few coats to have good coverage. But I am not a paint guy so I am probably got something wrong. MATT, the 1x2 tubing is at my house, And my cousin's sand rail as well. |

Matt is making up a 1x2 rectangle tube lift for it. We are planning on using just long bolts to keep it all together. I am going to try and see if I can use the Super Beetle steering to no have any binding. Once we have some pics I will post them up.

The body is ready to go up. My son pull all the bolts on the underside, I pulled all the ones on the topside. He is great.

Here are the side rails Matt made up. Once he brings over the ends we can install.  Also I started painting the rear fenders. They are turning out better than I thought. |

Here is a pic of the rear fenders I shot. I am using the Paint shop from duplicolor. The primer is ok but the paint goes on really nice. That stuff will not run. No matter how bad I do.  And this is with out clearcoat. |
