I have the same issue. My Gremlin is also in the shape of a cat. I left the front axle and tie rod to my Freightliner on my bench. They disappeared. I found the tie rod later under the dining room table when we moved it to bring in the Christmas tree. Still haven't seen the axle.
Steve I am with you! When I take out my 72 GP I love the sound of my 455 through turbo mufflers. When I want something else, the 14 speaker stereo does the trick. A cup holder would be handy though.
I just cracked my sealed kit open to see if the fenders would work on my Freightliner. I decided against it. I notiched the tires in the kit seem a bit narrow. What are your thoughts? Very nice paintwork by the way.
The corrected stance has a big impact. I did the change my mind on the wheels too on another build.
