I have to know ..... WHERE did you get those buckles from? Looking forward to another large scale build, should be a good one. I have 3 of those, 2 still in running condition. Been sitting on the shelf for a long time now. |

Thanks for the PM. I like the blue one but the bottom ones are good to use as well, I used them in both the Willys Jeep and Willys Coup. I flocked them in the Jeep and they turned out really nice. Hold the harness better too I think. I also have one of Norms (team3six) 1/6 scale seats and harness waiting for a build. |

 Oooh man I have had the same body under my workbench for a while now, a friend who is not into it gave it to me. Been wondering if Wraith axles would be wide enough for it. I am really at a loss for inspiration due to it's size... Definitely subscribed to this one, I'm interested in what you have planned for this thing... | |

Haven't looked at the Wraith axles under there but pretty sure it would take a special offset wheel and large hubs to get them right depending on the look you're after. I'm thinking of larger diameter tubes and possibly larger center chunk to scale the look up a bit. I want to keep the wheel offset and hub length to a minimum to keep the extra weight from taking a toll on the knuckle bearings.

13 3/4'' hub to hub worked out good for me when I built my nylint.  |
