  1. Here is my reference I’m going off of and adding my scratch building skillz and ideas with this style of suspension for my Dads tribute truck. Funny thing is that this truck and owner I helped build a few of them also! “Crazy Kustomz “ of Escondido Ca was the shop that built this beast for Craig Elder and his sponsors back in the days. So it’s fitting to recreate the suspension I know and helped fab up on my builds as my dad loved them to!
  2. This is my tribute build for my late father who was a fan of my work since I learned from him the basics of building. I made my own way into the game in 1/16th scale because of his guidance. He tough me to get the details that make the difference in anything I do count. My Brother and I use to watch him as a child build 1/16th scale dragsters while we watch Drag Racing on TV on the weekends. He loved OBS Chevy Trucks and use to own a few custom cars to. When I built my 1/16th scale Extreme Crew Cab Build he said what’s going to make your truck better or different from everyone else Mijo? I showed him a few ideas I drew out and he said to think outside the box and make my own box to build in until I need to break it and make a bigger box! I showed him my idea for the 1st ever working air bags for 1/16th scale and he showed me a few ideas to make them work and it did! Two of my 1/16th scale truck had / have working air ride long before anyone else who claims they did it first. MCM /Layitlow forums seen it first back in the days. This thread I’ll be sharing my scratch building of “Big Jim 4X4 “ Chevy Truck for him. Enjoy the thread guys!
  3. Thank you all for the welcome back🙏
  4. About a year ago I was contacted via FBM about doing a replica build for her husband’s birthday the fallowing year. We ironed out the details and I got to work!
  5. I used the front clip off the 1/16th scale “Moving On Van” to get the correct look for this project, big fan of 3D parts they can make now a days!
  6. We’re did you get the front suspension parts for this kit at🤔
  7. My latest finished replica I was asked to do for a fb client last year of her husbands Rat Rod Truck he owns. A lot of good people helped me along the way to make this his Birthday present he has always wanted! They know who they are and I’m fortunate that they helped me with the 3D parts and chroming to make that made it happen for my clients! Thank you all!
