gautreau Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Finally got to work on this build again. I took a skull made by Scale Dreams and turned it into a switchbox for the air-ride. Scratchbuild a driveshaft. Then a club member pointed out that there was very little travel room for the driveshaft without it snapping.So, I modified the lower section of that x-member.
