 I had wanted to use the kit graphics, but, I could not get them to stick to the curve of the front fenders  Soooooo . . . . . . .   here is the front axle cut from tubing and the spindles from square tube  axle mounts from square rod and backing plates for the "U" connectors  the backing plates and brakes for the front, found these in the parts box  the front axle is scratched and the rear is from the parts box As most of this scratch building is the same as the Nomad build I did not see the sense in posting it engine and interior coming up next
