Okay, okay,
WHY I started this with so many "NOT" finished is beyond me, but, here goes . . . .
Thanks to Mark, (Modelhead), I got this little baggie kit from him. ;D
I needed to do a little work on the front frame rail so as it would take the leaf spring set up
Shown here is the frame/chassis painted and both the front and rear shackles on, the front has the leaf springs on
with the front shackles and . . .
the rear mounted . . .
(well, almost)
i measured the width between the shackles for the leaf spring mounts
I am using the BIG SOHC 427 injected engine from the . . uh . . . I don't remember what kit it was from?? HA! well, I do know that with Uncle Bills guidance, I am gonna give it a "SHAKER" make over!
okay, the springs are done and mounted! WHEW!! That was a "very" aggravating time putting those on . AARRGGHH!
So, I got the spindles and the axle cut
(again, thank You Uncle Bill!!)
And the riser blocks and bolt plates for the front axle
Here is the body waiting on decals
Well, know I got to get back to work on this before I, I, I, I, . . . . . .
see something over there in the,
in the corner,
uhm,
wha, what's that cool looking plastic kit . . . . . .
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH NNNNOOOOO IT"S HAPPENING AGAIN!!!!!
;D
later Guys
