(hardbody Toyota land cruiser) pics for your enjoyment. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...4/DSC01523.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...4/DSC01524.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...4/DSC01522.jpg body shots with tranny mock up http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...4/DSC01525.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...4/DSC01526.jpg the motor plate wont be up so far that it pokes out of the glass or i might trim it down so it can. can you guys help me out on how to make Leaf springs? |

| it is a model body. tamiya to be specific. i do not know the length but i can check next time i start working on it. i am still figuring out the suspension weather or not to do leafs but i was wondering if any one knew a tut on how to make a ladder frame? i think im going to ditch the one i have now and build the scalish one. |
