TOPIC:

Well today (actually yesterday) I finally decided what to do with the frog brat chassis that’s been sitting unloved for a while
It’s a mish mash of old and rere parts and I had no idea what to do with it, then a light bulb moment so took off the old brat rear body mounts and threw a couple of body posts on the back and extended the brat front mount and then put on my set of three brat wheels and one ranger front wheel(don’t ask )

Then got an old Blackfoot body I have just stripped and chucked rere windows and bumpers on it and the end result ain’t too bad

Nice paint and ranger decals will finish it off nicely I think

A fine custom buddy.

That is actually looking quite good!
You'll need to toss the 380 motor after adding that big body! :-D

IDK what you've got in mind for paint, but I'd be inclined to look at utilitarian (or froggy) green instead of blue - Hycote do a Ford Meadow Green (not to be confused with a Peugeot colour of the same name) that I think the stock decals would work on. (Halfords claim to do the same colour).

I agree a 540 would look better

It’s a hard one the colour choice, am very tempted to go electric orange and alloy rims, like the ART hopper I did, tho decals will need a lot of colour changes.
Or just a nice sky blue and white rims with standard decals, decisions decisions
Your input on that JR?

Or a nice metallic red? With a lot of clear to give it shiny + stock decals. With polished/ chromed alloy rims.
