Finally got the rear suspension done.
Nothing really major.
Made 6"inch lift blocks, 4 u-bolts and 8 nuts
Keep it all straight was the fun part and grabbing the wrong SuperGlue.
SuperThin Super Glue is not a Drip on from the bottle type of Glue
It's a Run all over the place glue.
BTW: This is not how you should lift a 1:1 truck 6"inches.
Final ride height with out anything but suspension holding it up and level
What did you use for the U-Bolts?? Also what size styrene is needed for the blocks?....Thanks!
