Well, got the 1st part of the dash mocked up. I am at a stand still now until I get the windshield in. I want to make sure I don't go to far into it without having to undo anything. Haha #vermontscalerc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #returnofthegoatrc

This is the baseline interior I'm shooting for. A lot of stuff still to do, and inner door walls, and bed of the SUV, but this is where I'm at thus far for ideas. Doing a little more tinkering, and then on to the dashboard... the effing dashboard. I hate the dashboard. I usually cheap out on it, but won't this time. Haha #returnofthegoatrc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #vermontscalerc

Found the perfect bucket seats for the Goat!! I have to build some boxes to raise them up a little bit and angle then forward. Lucky to have a pile of old bodies and interiors laying around! Garage sale finds!! Can't wait for spring to find some more!!! Woot!! #vermontscalerc #returnofthegoatrc #radiocontrolledeastcoast

Trimming and melting styrene! Got the floor boards almost done. Stuff is drying, now going to dig through my plastic bin for some seats, dash board stuff, and see where we go from there. Waiting on stuff to dry sucks fyi, and I am not a patient man. Hehe #truestoryaboutme #styrene #radiocontrolledeastcoast #vermontscalerc #returnofthegoatrc

Well got the front floor board mocked up for #returnofthegoatrc. I finished that up last night, and will move on to the dashboard next. Fun with Styrene! #vermontscalerc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #styrene #modelwork #ultimatescalechallenge

Chop chop sir. Getting the floor board done on The Goat. Mocked up, and now on to the passenger side. As busy as I have been, I do enjoy working on this build. It's been nice to return to what I started out doing. #vermontscalerc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #returnofthegoatrc

Decided to leave room for feet on this build. The last one it was just half a body, and was fine, but want to leave room for legs and feet, if I can. Hehe. #vermontscalerc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #returnofthegoatrc #styrene

[vermont-scale-rc-blog]

Cardboard interior for the win!!! Nah, mock up has begun. It's been a year plus since I've worked with styrene and I'm sure it wasn't as good before, so, here we go! Haha #returnofthegoatrc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #vermontscalerc

[vermont-scale-rc-blog]

Annnnd done... the chassis s ready for interior build. Got the drive shafts in, the motor on, and everything else that's going on it for build purposes. Sooo, yeah, no more stalling, here we go! Haha #vermontscalerc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #returnofthegoatrc

[vermont-scale-rc-blog]

I got the transfer-case mounted, and now digging through drive shaft box to get some on here for mock up! Getting close to starting the interior! Eeek! Getting excited!! #radiocontrolledeastcoast #vermontscalerc #returnofthegoatrc

[vermont-scale-rc-blog]

Well, got all the links mocked up, servo installed, and getting it ready for some wheels and tires. I like this set up a lot! @lockeduprc did their homework on this, and it shows! I had to move the forward to make room for the track bar which is no big deal. Up next, the transmission, driveshafts, and all that stuff! #vermontscalerc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #lockeduprc #LURC #returnofthegoatrc

[vermont-scale-rc-blog]

Getting the @lockeduprc CMS kit installed for #returnofthegoatrc build. Everything you need is in the pro kit, and fits like a glove. Here are the bracket for the track bar, and the mount for the 3-link. #lockeduprc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #vermontscalerc

[vermont-scale-rc-blog]

This thing is looking good so far. No servo in sight. Going to install the drop link for the pan hard bar. Then I'm going to build a whole new front axle for this. I need to get longer links and push the front forward about an inch. Need to clear the rear of the wheel well more. Love this thing, I'm getting excited!! #vermontscalerc #returnofthegoatrc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #lockeduprc

[vermont-scale-rc-blog]

Got the 1st stage of the #LURC CMS kit mounted up. I had to flop the R2 around to make room for the Servo, which was no big deal at all. Digging the set up so far. #vermontscalerc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #returnofthegoatrc

[vermont-scale-rc-blog]

Getting the holes lined up to make the CMS set into the frame rails, and to get the drop bracket set up. Digging this CMS from @lockeduprc right now! Easy to install and they have instructions on the website if you want to make sure you get it done 100%! #lockeduprc #lurc #vermontscalerc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #returnofthegoatrc

Going to get going on my pro series CMS KIT from @lockeduprc! I have had this sitting waiting for me to get going in The Goat. So, here we go! #lockeduprc #cmskit #vermontscalerc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #returnofthegoatrc
