Toro Leopard system came in yesterday! Just under 2 weeks and $65 free shipping, Cant beat that! And its orange so it matches the truck lol...All of the scale accessories came in the end of last week too..steering wheel, seat, fire extinguisher, gauges...etc. Placed an order yesterday for the Diamond plate sheets for the floor as well. Im FINALLY sending out the shocks to be powdercoated too lol..been dragging my feet with the projects lately so this weekend im gonna try to catch up.. After I get everthing installed I can send this out to Terry Plum to do the body....

*BONUS*....I ordered a set of Junfac Carbon steel driveshafts for another project and they sent me 2 SETS!!! so I checked to see if they would work on the Blackwells and R2 trans and it fits so I have driveshafts now lol.


**DOUBLE BONUS**....you guys have been soooooo nice to me that Ill show another pic lol

I got a few more things done...My DP sheets came in saturday but I didnt have anything to cut them with lol sooooo off to my dads house to use his stuff.




I picked up a wraith seat and interior and a scale fire extinguisher a while back and decided it was time to mess with it..






Wanted to figure out a way to mount the steering wheel and keep those 2 gauges 2 add sum realism..then I mounted the extinguisher right above the gauges although in the 1:1 truck it is off to the right side, but its a tad too long...I still think it looks ok...Once I get a floor cut out I will mount the seat and make the hot pedal and the break pedal.

Sounds like you'll be making some test runs soon. Carefully, of course. Got that steering fabbed up yet?
