Thanks,
Rob

Looks like it is going to be one great project.  Might want to look at making the tires out of ebony but that is just a thought, seeing as the rest of the project is out of wood :)  Looking forward to seeing this one completed.

Thanks everyone,DW I thought about trying to make my own tires and rims but I think I might save that for another time.I am going to incorporate as much plastic as I can in this one.I also have some side pipes but might Mod them and have them go out the back..

It's got a Jeep grill half a Hemi and looks nearly ready to head for the outback, cut out exhausts and turn the tread around on the front tires for climbing or mud bogging, the suicide doors is a good touch.
Lets go!
