back axle is in and front, the trans is in just not hook up, just thought i would throw some 2.2s on it just for looks. one i get the other body i will lower the body right down cus its a little tall
how dose it look
it just has a beat up scout body on it for now





flex shot, dose better then i thought the leafs r kinda stiff to

got front and back in. the shocks were WAY to stiff. so i put axial shocks in with inner springs to limit the twist.

old shocks




so im putting a new body on and it will be blue.
that colour should the rims be. i like this colour, there unglued's old rims.

new ride height. i will need to lower it now. i will lower the body i like the chassis ride hight

bumper, its not staying















or should go to the black rims

i finally got my new body. the only one there was the clod replica body, i dont like the bug catcher on the hood. and i got my new axles and painted my rims. the colour i did the body was a little bright i sprayed black behind it that never made it any darker. well the next chevy body will be darker.









all the goodies








how do the rims look


i am going to lower the body a bit so its level and im going to do a rool bar in the back and make a spare tire holder and a spot for the light rack.

i stuck new axles in it, new shocks and levelled out the body. i think it looks good. today i made mud flaps for the front and going to do the backs soon. i found some old rock sliders and put them on.
i switched to a new proscaler chassis cus my other one was messed up bad.it was all bent and wobbly.
the rims r going to go black.














mmmmmmmm

Looks great, but your 1:1 is not a very good basis to model it off of, coz even if it is a 1976 it has a 1980 grill and headlight setup. So you are building a scale 80 actually.
