72 Charger Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Nice work Mattix . I would be tempted to beef up the chassis a bit though . Those 16th rigs get very heavy once all together. I like the door work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattix2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Thanks for the tip. I may lay some .010 brass in the rails then. Thanks i worked pretty hard on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattix2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Working on a suspension change due to the dicision to do something special. I got some parts made and now i got the deflated bag height that i like. I think that im going to mod the front fenders more. So far there isnt anything on this truck that i havent altered in some way. Lol Edited October 27, 2016 by Mattix2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im ready to be done with the chassis work so i can move on to other stuff. Lol there are plenty more ideas that i have flowing through my head. Cant wait to see it come together. I even have the trailer planned out already. Edited October 28, 2016 by Mattix2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
