Project: Lifted Expedition!
I had an old SnapTite (the cheap Revell kits i belive) Expedition lying around. Then i found an old Snaptite USA-1 Monster truck. I cut the suspension from the one piece frame of the USA-1 and am now grafting it to the chassis of the Expedition. I started this project like last year but just now FINALLY found a place that sells styrene for me to scratch build the stuff i need to build. No pics as of yet...i may get some later tonight though.

Re: Project: Lifted Expedition!
 Sounds cool. [rant] Please make it a realisitic lift though. Im tired of seeing lifts where the body is as high as the Empire State building, and then have a couple 3 meter shocks to hold it up, and the drive shaft going at an 80 degree angle.[/rant]

i will try my best. Im going to have to get a Bigfoot model as i lost alot of the parts from the USA-1...including the tires. The USA-1 is in 1/43 scale while the Expedition is in 1/24. Also Snaptite kits are made my AMT/Ertl

Re: Project: Lifted Expedition!
the usa-1 is 1/32, if it was 1/43 it would be really small.....

   i plan to glue the shock parts to the inside of the body instead of the chassis now. Im just not sure it will hold so i may have to add support. I also am moving the pumpkin to the middle of the body. Ive got the right stuff to do that. What id really like to do is fabricate my own custom bull bar...but im not sure ive got the skills. I am going to paint a few of the pody areas silver...then have the color (yellow..like an Xterra color) over those. Im gonna take a knife and scratch through to the silver to look like scrapes from branches and rocks.
