The rear lights will go here:

Chopping up the interior to fit:

Sometimes my summit tranny doesnt shift using the stock 'spring' shift linkage. On this truck, it'll be direct with a Kimborough servo saver doing the saving. Should be WAY easier to get in the correct gear!

Experimenting with window net designs..

Sleeving the 8/32 links with .035 Aluminum tubing. BEEF!

A little Octura teflon skid tube on the lowers:

Rear shift servo mount:

Painted the chassis semi-gloss black...

partition:

Messy..

Other things:

-added oil to all 4 shocks (30 wt for now)
- Cleaned up welds and boogers on plastic chassis
- Primed bumper and lightbar mount
- Shaved knuckles and driveline screws more

Have to get:

- 645 servo winch and spool
- Lexan sheet
- Servo saver
- impact foam

Thanks people!

This thing is just amaizing."thumbsup" That front end with the body and hood scoop on the roof just keep making me go back and look at it again. Great job, can't wait to see it all together.

Wow Ryan, all I have to say...:shock:

 

[rbgerrish]

Thanks!

Got the rest of the parts today. I modded the servo into a winch at work, and I just need to build the mount and install it. After that, it's all paint and assembly. Then I'll dive into the lights and detail bits, like windows netting, fire extinguishers, rear styrene tub, mirrors, windshield glass, decals, etc...
