I remember seeing a few of these on the list but for the life of me I cannot find them any more. I was packing up and found an old beater clod body and I was thinking of making it into a blazer body. So I went searching for some info. # hours later and a few laughs I only found one and it looked like $hit IMO any way. I remember seeing one Aggie had on a Bruiser frame that was almost complete but I can't find that pic any where now.
Does some one make these so I don't have to do it all from scratch? I know Scale Hobbies makes some for the Jugg and Hi-Lux bodies but they do not have one listed for the clod. It's not something I need right away but I would like to know where to get the stuff so I can start the project once I'm settled in Japan.
Thanks!
Josh

I don't think aggy made that.. you want help from byrd... I think he used sheet polystyrene from a hody store and used heat to get the bends and cut the windows and used some odd body glue and bondough

I reently saw a guy that made shells for the clod and other trucks. I think that it's tyranosaurus (sp?) of rougue elements.

Cool I'll see if I can seek him out. I may end up trying to fit one of Scale Hobbies' bruiser or jugg cap to the clod body if I can't figure out a better idea. I kinda want windows in it though.

I just finished ordering from "Scale Hobbies" a Juggy cap.The one he is sendng me is the "Snug" cap which only comes with a rear window. He can custom fab one for ya but it's a pretty penny to do so, I was told at least $100 for a custom cap

Hey Alfy,
You mind sitting it on a clod body and taking a pic for me when you get your snug cap in? Maybe I can just mod one of the jugg caps to fit if it is close to fitting alreay.

That's cool, I just want to see how close of a fit it is. My guess it's probably ptery far off but you never know.

As long as the length is good, the width can be modified by warming the corners up a bit and taking some of the bend out of them.
