FAV project.

Recommended Posts

My FAV arrived today, so it's time for a new project.

I have started laying down some white paint on the chassis.

While waiting for it to dry, I started on some sub assemblies

The roll cage.

Nice color combo! That is going to look really sharp.

Getting the itch to give mine a makeover again... This will be #3.

I was watching a re run of Lizard Lick the other day . They repo'ed a sand rail that had purple body panels and yellow wheels - and looked the Mutts Nuts .

Once Toykid has his FAV /Wild One kit on sale I can see a build coming on

This driver will be replaced in a month or two, so just a basic paint job will do, plus I'm useless at painting figures.

Driver in, and I decided to add the front lights.

Bearings, I will be using metal in the gearbox, and rubber in the wheels.

Looking similar to my FAV I've done some years ago. Mine is an original FAV.

Needs some funky stickers and it will look even more awesome. A surfboard strapped to the top might work too?!
