  1. Yes sir, kind of a combination of front springs (adjusted the height and the side to side difference as well) adjust and rear suspension adjustments and all the wheels touch down together.
  2. Well done, outstanding build and well detailed. 🏆🏆🏆
  3. Thanks Jeff, we will see where this goes, as you know my builds are always open to change 🤣😂😜
  4. Thank you Ron for the tip, received the parts from Moldel Truck Builders Forum. The front fenders are perfect fit, also picked up the cab skirts which should add to the lowered look I want to go for.
  5. Picked up a set of battery boxes from Model Truck Builders forum, very well built. But I am still deciding if they are too big, keep looking at box art and they look big there as well………maybe ok……or maybe not.
  6. Was just thinking that, man you got some serious pressure ……..and we are all watching. You got this.
  7. Such an impressive build and a great engineering feat as well.
  8. Thanks for looking guys. The fixture I am using is from Auslowe and is very key to getting everything aligned, don’t want saggy fenders. The red and green stands come with the fixture plus some shims based on tire height. When you order the fenders (they are resin cast and require some cleanup), they come with the aluminum rods, frame mounts, and some really delicate fender mounts. They are time consuming to prep the fenders, define where the rod crosses and then assemble in the fixture. I’ve got about three hours so far in them. But the added fenders really bring some life to the build.
  9. Wow, you guys knocked that outa the park………teamwork🏆🏆🏆🏆
  10. Hanging fenders today, had to use spacers under stands due to taller tires to get fenders aligned.
  11. Hey Steve, yes the tank is scratch built, got to make a matching one, then all the brackets. Had to get the length correct. the green stands come with Auslow fender mounting fixture, the white ones are homemade, I have several sizes.
  12. Found enough parts in my boxes to build up these fenders.
  13. New frame, axles and tire/wheel combo with correct offsets. Front flares now fit better, tank length fits and going with these fenders. Going to drop the sleeper and build a cool headache rack instead. Going for mild custom work truck with day cab.
  14. Your weathering skills look so natural, wish I had those skills. Well done.
  15. What a cool rig, and kudos to your imagination. To print/build nearly every component is impressive and a sure sign of the future of modeling. Well done.
  16. Wow, Steve, this shaping to an outstanding build, a well finished truck.
  17. Now that is a cool build, well done, got some skill/knowledge right there.
