By using a rack and pinion steering system you eliminated the need for a steering box, just saying! Great build, would make a great push truck for an LSR 29 roadster. Hit the salt.

sorry i missed your reply yes i know , atm its more a connection to change the direction motion wise rather then  a steering box .. sanded that box down to almost a flat thing .. maybe not 100% right and thnx yes could be cool to make it into a push vehicle !

i def. tried my best to keep away from the surf theme .. thats what most of these look like ..

Great looking progress Richard !!!!!  You are right in thinking that the top could use something.  That is a large area and would look good with some metal highlights.

yes indeed , i have to think about material though .. i still have not looked for some nice soldering equipment , i have a solder thing but thats on/of one temp with a big iron end ... i still have to look into what sort of soldering iron / thing i need and what kind of material and flux or no flux ...

i can easely make it from styrene or plastics but i dont have thin rod material .. especially on a roof rack its important not to go to thin or too thick to get a convincing look ..

but yes will be very cool to add and make real wood boards in them spaced ...

 

ps i would have liked to do the roof in weathered paint .. but that wasnt realistic in the sense they never have painted roofs in the first place , could have looked cool though ...
