ok guys, it's been awhile but this one is back. i've also deleted previous posts in this thread rather than try to match all the missing photos to the proper spots. i've nixed the coaxheaders and found some tubing that works nicely. the diameter of it isn't as large but i think it will be ok. i've got a driver for this now and some may recognize him from the "skull rider" build. here's the rearend, it's from a monogram monster truck and i've added spring perches  the rear springs which i made from aluminum flashing  springs fitted to the axle  added some detail to the blower   added a representation of an oil pan  front crossmember in place  and started on some proper front tires for it  more coming...enjoy  |

here's some more pix. made a driver's seat  started fitting the driver to the seat and in the proper driving position  a shot of the front axle and springs  for those who might want an idea of scale, the guy is 1/25 and the girl is 1/24  and a couple of mock-up shots so far, you can see the header in one of them and the other is with the driver before fitment to his seat   still have no clue about color. this was gonna be a 15 wrangler nascar but decals are out of the budget and any kind of an Earnhardt figure are also too lofty  enjoy |

I think I also have some wrangler decals. Even though I'm sure Paul has just about anything we need, I can be your backup for those.
