Great chassis work! This is turnkng out sweeeeeet!

thank you Dale , Mike and AK it's much appreciated is that your sleeperball entry Dale?, i have complete confidence it'll look great however you do it mate

thanks Duster sadly i never remember to photograph the steps until it's finished. perhaps on the next one i'll be able too, hopefully.

Frank,
DAMN nice frame fabrication on that one! Question, BEFORE you hacked into the frame and even the bed, was the frame "stepped" like that? I mean the "Z" in it? (Once again, another kit I'm unfamiliar with)

Man tho, thats clean! A little Evergreen scale models plastic, yes?

Stance is gonna look GREAT, 4X4? I didn't catch if it was or not!

When ya did yer real one, I bet you couldn't just grab and flip the ole bugger over could ya? LOL AND, I bet at times, you were wishing ya could! LOL

thanks john. the frame used to angle down at about a 45 and yes i definately wished i could just flip it over.

that's a good jab there AK, gave me a good chuckle in actuality i had left the tires off sop the 2 rims halves i glue could cure properly.

howdy all. i was lookin at this build in comparison to the 1:1 pics and decided the bed wasn't short enough so out came the saw


also i lowered the stance by a couple more scale inches and with the even shorter bed...yeah that looks right



and a shot of the modified rear suspension. still needs trailing arms.

enjoy

thanks AK

Nice bit of chopping up Frank, It reminds me a little of the trucks haulage companies use this side of the pond to shunt trailers about the yard.

thank you men the driveshaft will juuuuust clear John.

Short and Sweet , what else is there to say !!

Looking really sweet Frank.
Perfect call going back and shortening the bed some more in my opinion. Looks spot on to me now. two-thumbs-up-smiley-emoticon

got just one pic today, i've started putting together the engine/trans. my1:1 had the 2.5l "iron duke" engine and so i'm gonna attempt to replicate one with this, stock 4cyl from Daisy's jeep and the s10 auto trans. i've already added a header from amt 55chevy stepside. on the intake side we'll go slightly wild-ish

enjoy

already used them John.

got some progress done on the engine here and have chosen an intake setup. i didn't realize the "iron duke" engine had been around so long until i googled for reference pics



this deviates slightly from what the 1:1 would have been, but it's plastic so anything goes the 1:1 would've gotten a small block chevy.
enjoy
