Coming together very nicely Dave I like the simple lines of the body panels and the hood. Just a thought on the steering, do you have room up front for a bell-crank set up. There was a thread on here (cant seem to find it now) last week showing that setup. Carry on |

In that case, i'll grab one from each supplier to see which one works best. Fit is definitly a big issue as i'm building a 1/16th scale truck right now. Thanx again! Oh, almost forgot..got a subscription! |

I finally got it on the rocks today. It worked pretty good for the first time out. I still need to work on the steering but that's it. The rocks here in Pacific Grove are very grippy so my paint job got pretty hammered. |

Looks good Dave. I like how you started your build after me and still finished before me, I need to get my truck done so I can come scale out with you guys and hopefully make it to the G6 comp. |

I got my shortened MIP cvd's back from hellbentrodder. He did an amazing job on these. They were cut down on a lathe and welded back together. Last edited by dpdsurf; 01-15-2011 at 12:26 AM. |
