This update is going to cover the liftgate and the progress of the engine, going to start with the engine
And now to turn our attention to the liftgate
starting with a piece of .60 sheet plastic
the uprights( I am not sure what the official word is for them), is what the gate is going to attach to, used some sprue, drilled a hole through them for the retaining rod to go through
also need to build the gate extender , starting with a piece of Plastruct diamond plate , and a piece of .30 sheet , the .30 is to give the diamond plate some extra strength.
using square tube, not sure the size, drilled holes for the rods
Holes drilled for the retaining pins
and a completed extender
attached , in the extended position
and in the non extended position
And that concludes this update , thanks for watching
