leopard lwb

[roofchopper]

hi, whilst running my hpi baja with marders i wondered what a lwb fg would go like, i wanted something to give some abuse to so decided to make a full floorpan rollcaged chassi out of 10mm tube the same wheelbase as my baja,

 

[Hectorbklyn]

[charlieboy]

[roofchopper]

a bit more fabrication, now got to make the rear cage removable

Hey Roof you could make a good living building them buggies, Voo would prob buy everything you make bud.:cool2:
I'm serious though mate they would go for a lot either on ebay or through LSF.
Do you need a bussiness partner , we could even market it um up here in N Wales for you, only thing is we'll have to test um out first :cool2: , we could be the N wales top gear (me as Clarkeson, Voo as Hammond and me matey J as Captain Sensable).

hi, i thought about that, but i like my job in a cafe washing up,
i might make a copy of this one and bung it on ebay see what it makes, i think the tube frame lorry would sell

 

[roofchopper]

just a quick mockup, see what it looks like

 

[zouz10]

That looks amazing roofchopper..

I like how you kept the same chassis and built everything on top of it.
