    Another quality custom! I really love your approach to customizing existing characters, it's like you're creating your own personal canon by using bits to create twists on their designs no one else ever thought of.

    Great job there :thumb 
    Only nitpick: Maybe remove the front fenders, too, to make it look more like a buggy.
    I know there are buggies with fenders but right now the front still looks more like an SUV.
    Maybe just give the front wheels a bit more space and don't remove the fenders completely.

    too much work as the fender piece is a structural piece for the calf section.
    shaving it off to have an open-wheel buggy will leave it quite fragile and needs to be reinforce with putty.
