Leopard into a Monster

[Striffy]

Hi,
I swapped my FG Monster Truck for a Leapoard Race with all Alloy upgrades on it...
Love the way it handles but wouldn't mind having a Monster truck look to it too...

So far I've modded the shell slightly, took more of the back guts out than I needed to as I was going to sit the body lower.
Added longer Squares.
Waiting for a Marder Alloy Front Shock tower, then with some modeling Clay going to mock up a front brace for it. This will bolt onto the Alloy shock mount...

Then I will concentrate on the sides. I'm think a new exhaust, and Monster side plates might be all I need... Then I can have either a Leopard to go racing on tracks with, and the Monster for Bashine...

I've seen a friends Lauterbacher Monster Truck, he got a kit which turns it into a buggy, so I thought why not the FG too?

Thanks,
Just to update, friend that I originally got the Leopard from really wanted it back, so I ended up swaping his Lauterbacher, which with the kit included goes from Monster to Buggy...!
So unfortunately it never progressed much further than this!
