Default HackJob

I was tinkering in my shop and when I was all done, I had this...

VMG Hackjob. No pint, nothing polished, strictly business. I will be test running it this weekend. Any thoughts?







More pics here....

It started off with a custom triangular upper link that I knew was going to be extremely long. Then I made the rest of the links to make it fit. When the shocks were too short, I had to make some adaptors to mount the shocks. It turned out interesting, so I finished it by making the rear section. It looks like it's gonna work.

I need to find a 1/18 scale Dodge Dakota body bad.

I know, I know. A crawler isn't "scale" either, but the one pictured is a bit over the top. At least, it's not my style anyway.
