  1. Thank you it's been quite the building process after the suspension is finished I'll be working on the body and decal work and then I'll be finishedπŸ‘πŸ˜Ž
  2. Just a small update here this was a big step and I'm pleased with the results πŸ˜‰πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜πŸ‘
  3. FINALLY!!! πŸ˜€ Got the coil overs glued had to shorten the springs and the bottoms of the shafts but here's what they look like now
  4. Here's my shock absorber project another coat of paint on the springs a few dabs of glue and these babies are done, I might wind some more wire and see if I can get a more detailed scale look for them πŸ˜‰ πŸ‘
  5. I'm trying to get the look of the coil over springs right here's the photo of the real thing and the absorber that I made
  6. Here's some more progress, after the linkage and suspension are done it's just the axles and cab to finish up then decal/body work and then Done!!!πŸ˜πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘
  7. Here's the transfer case it's in the chassis now working on the shock absorbers and linkages I'm getting very close now πŸ˜πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘
  8. Thanks I'm almost done with the chassis work now

  10. Here's a model that started as a car, broke, then was revived as a monster truck πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘, this is my nephew's truck that I built for him
  11. Small update here from the past few days I took a break usually I end up looking at reference photos and getting back to things, so here's what I've done, after I get these on the chassis it's transfer case time β˜ΊοΈπŸ˜πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘
  12. Great work both are fantastic πŸ‘πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜
  13. Love the straps on your engine tried to do that with my engine, did you make those or are they made by a vendor? Great engine work I'll try that on my next build πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž
  14. So finally got the engine in the chassis and finished with the wiring of the engine now onto the cab, seat, switches, and suspension components still have to scratch build a radiator and gearbox we're getting close to the end of this one πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜πŸ‘
  15. Here is what I've done on the chassis might be a little bit unnoticeable I am now pretty much finished with the chassis minus the little white spots all over and the mounting of the engine and cab components and suspension
  16. I appreciate all the input and thanks for the insight πŸ’― πŸ™‚ πŸ‘πŸ™
  17. Hi everyone I'm trying as best as I can to scour the interwebs for the answer to a burning question, what are the hoses coming out of the valve covers connected to?
  18. Hey I'm back after a break with some small updates, I just did an entire "paint cycle" on the engine before it goes into the chassis so while that dries up I'm going to work on a few chassis pieces and then get started on the decals πŸ™‚ πŸ™ hopefully all goes well with that...
  19. Thanks I forgot to mention that the engine will look like it's sitting higher on the model compared to the real truck, I have two other monster truck kits in the photos I've posted I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the destroyer II kit I plan on getting three other ninja turtle kits and I'll get started on those once they're all hereπŸ‘‹πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘ take care and see you on the next one
  20. Hi everyone I'm building a monster truck and I'm wondering what the hoses coming from the valve covers on both sides are connected to?
  21. Looks like the engine will sit "in scale" about maybe 3 1/2 - 4" in comparison to the real truck I used the Raminator and 97 F-150 engine to build this monster engine I'm satisfied with the outcome ❀️ πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž
