squirrel886 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 ......finally got something for the rear suspension arms. I cut off the mounts on the front radius rods, and cut off the rear axle suspension mounts. I drilled out the rear mounts to accept the front radius rods.

squirrel886 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thanks Stan! I couldn't see spending $28 on 4 pairs of Heim joints that most wouldn't see. It took me 7+ months to figure something out, and it came in a dream last night. Maybe now I can finally finish this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrel886 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Thanks for the compliments. Blair, I wish someone would produce a resin replacement interior of the sides, back, and seats. It would make building other variations a lot easier. The kit interior is specific for the Rat Roaster, and doesn't modify too easily. Here's a dryfit of the radiator and grille.
