[QUOTE=bigblock73]Kent, when I get home I will measure and see how much I removed from the bed. All the material was removed from the front of the bed. It is a little out of proportion due to the chassis wheelbase, but close enough. It is actually closer to a Blazer/Jimmy wheelbase...and it would be pretty easy to make one of those too (Ken, you reading this? ). The chassis is from the Tamiya BMW Roadster kit. It is rwd, and has 4 wheel independant suspension. I put ball bearing in it to make it faster and more battery friendly. As far as filling the holes...I cut some thin aluminum slightly larger than the opening, and epoxied them from behind. I then filled the recessed areas with automotive bondo. It was a very simple procedure.[QUOTE]

Thanks for the info Jeff! Much appreciated! I can't wait to see yours when it's done!
