Thanks for the kind words guys!...Jim... the front axle in this kit is a one piece design...the spindles are molded right on the axle, like the AMT kits are. here is a few picks of how I modified mine to be functional. I cut the spindles off the axle.....then used some small Evergreen styrene tubing and glued one to each end of the axle....then the others to the back side of the spindles, then put a pin down through the center so it will swivel. I then cut some small sq. styrene rod and 45 deg. cut , then glued that to the backing plate. Then glued two small pieces of the small styrene tube to the ends of that for the tie rod to connect to. Very simple......and does not take away from the looks of the kit parts.
