If you wana see how it came to life here's the thread...http://bitpimps.lixlink.com/pages/phpFo ... highlight=

Don't Ibjamn fool you with his pics on the thread...he made it look like an easy conversion but I tripple guarantee you it wasn't an easy build. You can learn alot from following the thread and a couple other build-ups. Ib's music wire suspension was inspired.

Naw, the first step was really easy. You just take the herbie body and use the wrong stuff to try to strip the paint. :-o

Then, you try to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
:lol:

thanks for the compliments :grin:

thanks for the help guys, that thread is just what I need. Now I need to hunt down some herbie bodies.

Ibjamn - nice work there! I plan on making mine look like the vintage tamiya baja bug.
