Good, old school parts list! I like to see TLTs and Pede gearboxes used.
Is the shelf bracket, "C" channel? How are you planning to bend it?

Update.....

well got the body,got it painted,(not happy with the results)but will do for now i guess.;-) and decided to just use my bruiser chassis for it at the time being also.

wheel base fits great.

taped up and black laid down.

then the white.kinda like the blue tape on it before."thumbsup"

gotta build the exo/spare tire mount for it now if i can get time between running back and forth to hospital with dad's open heart surgery.
