FenderMender Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Four 1/25 scale Maisto 1950 Chevy 3100 pickup trucks. The two red ones, one stock and the other with white walls, are older versions with movable front wheels; whereas the current newer orange version has straight metal axles and was lowered as much as humanly possible (all wheels roll with nothing scraping the ground). The yellow lifted version is older, too, with straight metal axles also. Lowering the orange version took a great amount of effort and force to achieve and I would not want to repeat the process. It was a royal pia to do and a strong grown adult would have the same experience as the wheels are pressed on AND super glued to the metal axles. Severing the axles in two wasn't a viable option as one would still have to remove the axles from the wheels and come up with replacement axles to boot. Plus the chassis would be in danger of damage as well when cutting the axles in twos. The procedure might warrant a tutorial in the future for those thinking about doing this. Thanks for looking and reading the rant. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenmojr Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Nice work on these Chevys. Really like the slammed red one with the white wall tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
