DrKerry Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Drawing up ideas for front dolly that’ll be behind the lead tractor! It’ll also be what the Steer Car gets hooked to for tow back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had a few ideas for Kustom kars that have started that way!! Idea pops into my head and I sketch it out before it’s gone or I just write out what it was!!

DrKerry Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Been working a little on the dolly, get back to working on the Steer Car over the weekend though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) Did some more frame work last night! Front of the frame will be on tonight. Dolly is roughed in, now I need to work on suspension for that. The main tow rig will be a KW pulling a Pete steer car. I had to move my modeling back into the basement yesterday so it took awhile doing that. Hopefully get some photos today/tonight!!

Thinking of trying to make a concrete type beam to run over it. Girder would be to tedious for me right now and a beam of some sort would be quicker.
