Oh hell yeah, that's awesome, chassis looks real awesome.


You going to rig it up to have somewhat moveable suspension, like run a servo in each corner to move the suspension up and down?

wow this thing is wicked.

i also like the ideas for making it have workable suspension.
even if it was just topped and pancake.

subscribed for sure, as i have a feeling we will be seeing a bunch more of these.

I already went in to the shop, bolted the wheels up to the Narrowed TLT's, and bolted the lower links in.

I need to get the body ordered now

Thanks for the motivation :-P

harley mine is 6 1/2 with mrc axle. dont tempt me i build model cars and i dont think any of the bodies are stock so chopping it would be cake. i plan on making some air suspension and getting some more magnesium block to throw some sparks.did that on my old jesse james hot rod works great.

Damn, that is a 1/2" wider than where I am at right now. I can get some thinner hexes but it looks like I may have to do some work on the fenders, I just ordered the F-350 body.

no there little magnesium blocks for starting camp fires at walmart they work great and there cheap. the frame is steel too so it should spark a bit too.

I wouldn't say he's over 6ft tall. Plus that truck is very vertically challenged.

im not sure how tall he is but im about 6'5" and when i stand next to it its at my waist i cant remember exactually how tall it is its around 52".
now with all this talk about chopping the top i couldnt just not do it so sam it may slow the build up a bit which is fine it will give me a little more time to figure out the front suspesion beings the two ive tried dont really work. well on to the pics.
