This is amazing good sir. Are you going for a scale stocker look or are you goin for a scale modified type rig with a lift and what not?

Scale stock/ semi stock. Not a trail rig. Just like the 1:1! L.R. |

I appreciate every ones kind words- I have no special tools, no "shop", nothing but motivation to get this finished so I can start working on something else (interior). If I can do this ANY of YOU can do this too. here is the last of the pics I have so far- both shock hoops brazed on- close up of trackbar mount and drivers side shock hoop- progress shot~ front leaf perch making the last scale body mount finally! (out of brass this time ) first "scale" shot~ both sides made up- rear spring hanger ground down/ cleaned up. getting ready to make a quick jig for brazing (which didnt work!) a shot next to the plans for a true 1/10th scale version! rear spring hanger with jig- this last pic is where my jig sort of served a purpose. the front spring mount is brazed on the frame, and I needed a way to get both sides equal so I drilled and screwed the square stock through both spring hangers then I moved it to the other side of the frame. (no pics of this but you get the idea) now I know exactly where to braze the opposite side front spring hanger. last update with pics for a while- I am going to the keys for a week! MAHALO~ L.R.

Dont even think you guys (and gals) cant do what I am doing- I have seen pictures of some of your shops that you guys have- AMAZING stuff like uhhhh a vise? look closely- 3 different pliers, a torch (from lowes) a pencil torch (from ace hardware) a dremel, carbon paper, file folder paper(for templates) the thin sheet steel is just behind the pic- thats about it really. thanks, L.R. |

| It makes all the difference. I wouldn't have been able to build my cage without it. It's something so simple, but so handy. Honestly, the three tools I use most are my vise, a small scale pipe cutter and my set of jeweler's files. Oh, and my cheapo Mapp torch from Lowe's. I would be lost without them.

BUILD IT YOURSELF! Not expensive, but it does take some time. If u just wanted the steel portion bent to shape that's pretty easy. If I were going to sell my frame at this point it would be 300.00 with nothing else. You can do it! L.R. |

Do you think all these little tiny scale peices are going to stand up to the abuse?

I think for scale wheeling my frame will be fine. It's not gonna flex anything like the true crawler rigs out there- I can't wait to flex my 1:1 rig then set up a scale flex shot with my 1/10 version! L.R. | |
