Default Dezfan's 57 Chevy "The Parts Bin Pimp!"

The inspiration!




So I'm trying to go through all of my crap and thin the herd. As I started the process, I'm noticing that I have A LOT of crap! And nice "crap" at that!

So much so, I have enough to build a really nice rig!

Stay tuned...

If it's the Parma, those axles will be really wide.

Yeah, after getting the chassis into a roller and sitting the body on it, the Axials are just to wide. Even with 0 offset wheels.

So plan B.

Dig into the parts bin and pull out an extra set of MRC axles I had kicking around. I had to order a new chassis as well, but it should be pretty cool when it all comes together.

And the chassis, axles, etc... I had planned on using for this build already have a new home with another build!

Stay tuned...

I saw Dez was selling this rig and was lucky enough to nab it before someone else did.

I built a leaf sprung MRC based scale rig almost exactly this time last year but unfortunately had to sell it shortly after it was finished. Despite pm after pm to buy it back from the new owner he ended up parting it out several months later without a single response.

This will be attempt number 2 and it wont be going anywhere this time.

As in the first build I will draw my inspiration from chino63's '57 Chevy.
