  • Wow very nice what Gage of sheet metal and how Mutch dose it cost

  • @TheCjcoon you can get sheet metal from ace hardware last time i bought a sheet it was $7 i lived in a neighborhood where they where building alot of new houses when they where done with the material it went in the trash they didnt save anything so i got alot of free galvanised angled flashing for free you can get it at home depot or if you live near a new housing development check the build site dumpsters

  • where do you get the chassis w/ everything there like the springs and other things

  • @SpecThompsonTV  i explain all that in the other videos but i get them off ebay i mainly use the tamiya hornet because it is light and has good ground clearence and does great offroad

  • what if you have something like a classic VW that has fat fenders?

  • @luigi2999 i would make what i could of the body .then make the fenders from fiberglass . i would put foam blocks on either side of the body lightly tack them on with hot glue then shave them down until they look right and fiberglass them . once they are dry desolve the styrofoam with Acetone and glue the fenders on .or you can try to beat the curves out of the sheet metal with a hammer and a sand bag but it takes forever and would be difcult to repair if damaged
