still needs shock and link mounts, the derlin skid, mount the tranny. And I think I may need to re do the back end to make it work sitting so low. Oh and I need to finish welding and clean up all the joints. I didnt have my auto darken mask here so I was just lookin away tacking it     |

if you put painted lexan on the back between the straight and bent bar, it would look awesome, if no lexan then go straight bars!! Looks really good BTW! Can you make really small scale tubers? AKA ssmt 1/43 turned into 1/25 |

update: Got the rear 4 link tacked on, mocked up and sitting on its own weight. The 3 link with a trac bar just wasnt going to work. I also changed the back alittle to give it alittle more up travel, I liked the old back better and might change it back if I dont lower it. Probably going to lower it though. I also need to tack in the rear bottom supports still. Tomorrow hopefully get the front 4-link all mocked up and have it sitting on its own weight. After that.... mount skid/tranny, make skins and mount, brace a few more things, make sure everything works then take apart and fully weld it    |

well it rolls. Still need to add a couple bars and braces finish welding and then clean all the joints up. Not having my helemt here is killin me, gettin some boogers.   it will also sit lower. I am waiting for all the weight to be in it before I adjust the ride height anymore |
