Mock-up

[dsummone]

How do you guys mock up suspensions so that you can remove them for paint? (Glued)?

Depending on the parts, I put a very tiny dab of glue on the parts with a toothpick or use pieces of small gage wire and a tiny drill and pin the parts together. Hope this helps.

Exactly.

I do lots of pin and hole work on my builds. Just makes stronger assemblies overall, and allows you to assemble/disassemble it as many times as you want without worrying about glue and stuff.

Big fan of pining suspension and other parts, you can see the mounting pins on the rear springs I've added.

 

I will tape the parts in place as well for a mockup.
