Oh yeah it is looking AWESOME! Radio looks perfect and I can even 'hear' the music right now... maybe its coming from big glass of coke & rum too.
Love the dirty & weary look of the interior...

Hey guys, thanks for the awesome words, i appreciate it. Got the frame, axles, suspension, hub's & wheels and bottom mud guards/shields in place. It all seemed to go rather nicely till i turned it over and only 3 wheels touch. The right front is off the surface quite a bit so adjustments are in order.....darnit!  Anyhoo.....   ACW. |

Sounds like it will be an easy adjustment... just go over to Russ for another good meal it will fix the issue. Believe me it works...
Good process there... never dealt with rubber tires before so I will be following you closely because some of my kits have them especially the Trumpy ones.

LMAO, that's exactly what I was gonna say . Those front end parts look pretty tender. Om the 152 I ended up splitting the difference between the two sides. That way you only have to go 1/2 the distance with each. Does that make sense? Would it be possible to soften the glue joints on either side with tammy extra thin and move one side up and the other down? |

Crap!...I would try to shorten the lower suspension arms and reposition the uper....Need more pics. Anyway bro this is nothing you can resolve! Crispy, delicious so far MasterB.

Disclaimers in writings will not work... Gary prefers to hear disclaimers verbally over a cold tall glass of iced tea, is that correct, Gary? LOL
Knowing you... you will have it fixed. Just whisper for that special power of yours to help you...
