| description | I have always wanted a CC-01 chassis and couldn't have been happier when I placed 2nd in a Tamiya USA comp. Thanks to Wyoming (who placed 1st of course) I won a Toyota CC-01.
I knew exactly what I wanted to make this into and after a trip to HK managed to pick up a Bronco bodyset for about $24 USD.
The inspiration is the original Parnelli Jones Baja Bronco. I won't be making an exact replica but more of an inspired by.
Vintage 5 slot alloys come from RC4WD as do wheel hubs.
I now have 2 repro driver figures and have fitted a Proline Bronco interior. This had to be cut from the original bodyset. It fits well and was worth the extra $$'s to save me having to build one from scratch  AND the repro hilux figures seem to fit in perfectly - Thanks PROLINE.
This is the progress so far, comments welcome.

STUNNING!..I always wanted a srb blazer but couldn't(still can't) afford one, but this really fits the bill while not costing half as much...just added to my list of 'must-builds' Please tell me your gonna do the 'Olympia Beer' theme!..being from Montana its nice to see something only us 'northwest guys' would recognize..lol
Whoa! I really like what you're cookin' here.
Looking good already cant wait to see it painted.
Looks very very nice. I love old Broncos and the legendary Big Olly is truly one a kind!
Very COOL!!!!!!
Loving it! I can see a few people copying this idea for a Blazing Blazer-style beater! Nice work.
very cool project and that Tamiya shell is so much more proportional than the Proline it makes a perfect blend.
WOW! Thats going to look great once finished
That is looking really cool. I like where you're headed with this one. I love those wheels.
What can we say, it looks great now so by the end I know it will be awesome..
