Oldskool 2,571 #1 Posted November 1, 2020 I've wanted to do this type of project for a while now. So here we go. The name was given by @wallfish. It will be called "The Yeti". It will be painted and badged in a military theme. The front axle is in progress now. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
