cant wait to see the finished product! that tubework is snug huh?

STANG KILLA SS 11-17-2006 06:45 AM

hell yea! i designed, made patterns, checked, redid, etc for about a month. i made about 1/8" clearance everywhere. its TIGHT. perfect fit. i think the extra time spent will pay off. im a bit of a perfectionist/accuracy freak lol. i garantee you, you wont find a straighter, more square tuber out there.

STANG KILLA SS 11-17-2006 08:17 AM

got the cab jig made up, and the 4 main cross bars cut and fit. i hope to finish up the cab tonight.

Also, if you are going to use Clod axles, I found a VERY Cheap way to extend the wheel base by 1.5".
I got all this hardware from Home Depot. There is some trimming required of the screw heads inside the hubs and drilling out the wheels to mount the new screws but not hard to do.

Jwrape... what's the wheelbase on the Clod Avalanche? I'mabout to start one myslef and trying to make plans for it. Looks like I may end up using Wheely King axles after all it the body is that wide!!
