Hairba11's blizz type 2

[hairba11]

I got the new SR a week ago, and seeing as how the breadbox on tracks look of snow cats has never really appealed to me i debated a few bodies before deciding on the bus.

decided to go for two tone, purple over silver and painted to soft top a more soft toppy color.


then started working on something else with some leftover 5/16" brake line.


a little tweak of the baseplate to give the correct angle, and a couple of holes later, the headers are installed.


started thinking about how to mount up the body easily and make it easy to swap later if i get bored with the bus and came up with honcho sliders.


the slider mount post is the perfect width for the inside of the bus.


a few 1/4" holes later and the body is mounted. i was able to fit a long handled 1.5mm allen between the openings in the tracks to put the set screws back in.






seeing as how the sliders are going to be a pain to remove i was concerned about being able to get to the battery plug, but no problem, the rear hatch on the bus opened originally to allow you to put your MP3 player inside. I can just fit a hand in and get the battery plugged in.


even got it out and took a video. next time i get bored i'm going to get lights wired up.
