Some more update... I will rebuild the snow plow attachment, the one in the kit is not realistic. Snow plow attachment that goes under the chassis. Chassis and snow plow attachments done. Another view.

This is looking interesting. If you're redoing the snowplow attachment...I assume it's going to be built as a service vehicle...yea? You've got a lot of work done on that chassis already...it sure looks good Brizio....

You are correct, I'm going to build it as service vehicle, years ago I built the Dune Buggy version from the same kit. Plus we are in the winter, and a snow plow come in handy... I was thinking last night to make the front steering turning right and left. So I removed the front axle. Working on the right side of the axle (left on picture). Here the front axle finished. Back on the chassis.

Thank you Gary! It is close to the color used by Jeep in the 60's. More progress... Snow chain, I don't know how many links flew around the room... But I was able to make 4 snow chains. One snow chain on the tires. All four tires done. What a pain... Chassis painted. Rolling chassis...

Some more... Added some detail on the carburetor. Starter. Engine. I went with the V6 Dauntless, also because this old kit, had the emblem on the fender. Body met the chassis... I resized the tires, so they are bigger that the one in the kit.
