Thanks bud, I've been painting bodies since the early 90s, that's how I use to support my racing habit! So having said that it's hard for me to airbrush the normal way. Just a little tidbit on the bumper. To add some strength to it I drilled out the SS rod to attach the two mounts. | |

| Re: Codyboys SV4-10 "Making it my own" Thanks Casey, I may be getting old but I haven't slowed down much. Now to a little more tech. I'm not sure if anyone else has thought of trying this but it is a easy way to add 4oz of weight on the axle. Started with this.... And ended up with this! Not a bunch of added weight, but it's a direct fit option and comp legal. But along with this I'm adding a total of 5 ounces down low and up front. A couple steps closer to making it my own. And I think if I clearance the axles so they don't bind I going to get a few more degrees of steering. We can always use more steering, RIGHT? Last edited by CODYBOY; 01-21-2019 at 10:04 AM. |

I found more steering with Beef Shanks. I did also get a set of the SSD in gunmetal for the SCX10ii, both added steering over those stock knuckles . Loving this! Hang up and Drive |

Not a big fan of theirs, When the ascender first came out I started making weighted tubes for the ascender axle and next thing I know my design was borrowed and put into production. But I love SSd products! Ernie | |

Nice "hair cut"! If you want you could run top on or off. Knights Custom posted a picture of his with earth magnets attached so that the top could be put back on. When I cut mine off, I cut it so I could put it back on if I wanted a different look. I just haven't attached the magnets yet. I need to get that done! Love the Candy Rootbeer color! |

CAGE, Some think that cage building takes special skills and I'm here to tell you it's "fake news". Yes I've been doing it for a few years but with a few hand and or power tools most any of you can do it. If you want to know more about building with tubing or rod just ask! A and B pillars for both sides. I use a side head grinder with a thin cut off wheel clamped in a vise to cut most all my tubing and rod. I do most all my soldering on fire brick and a third hand is one of the many ways I hold parts in place. The front and rear cross pieces on the drivers side are in place and I'm squaring them up before I solder passenger side pillars. Several hours later and getting close to having most of the soldering done. On this 1/8" tube I used tape and gravity to hold it in place. Test fitting on the interior. More later.

Now this is what I aspire to do. For now, it's just files, bench vises, a flux core feeder, and a grinder. Absolutely gorgeous work! |

Great look!!! The weight will be a spring killer. Any idea if your staying with the incision shocks? Hang up and Drive |

Hey Mike, Fits pretty good. I'll try to get a couple photos later. Quote:
Thanks for the kind words Chris!! I think you need to be more descriptive in your analysis of the build though! You should see it in Apple Valley if all plans go ok. I will be sure and share you sentiment with Santa! I bet your going to be doing good to get your rigs done before May!!! So this old retired fart will take care of the details. And I just wanted to tell thanks again for your service to our country. Ernie Quote:
I saved the top, I just need to see if it will clear the cage. Ernie Last edited by CODYBOY; 01-24-2019 at 09:57 PM. | |||

A few more picks of the cage. Tube work is my favorite part of doing a new build. You can see that I went with the stock rear bumper. You can see the detail a little better with the cage off the body. I was trying to keep the weight down on the tube work and still have some style and my own design, but I keep getting the voice in my head yelling WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!! "Not complete, design not balanced, you can do better". So going to look at it tomorrow and see what I can do to shut that guy up! Thanks for looking, and any comments or suggestions are welcome!
