gasser59 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) How about some scratch-built functioning U-joints in 1/25th scale made from aluminum square tubing and piano wire for my 4WD Jeep front axle? I've also put these on the front of my '59 Chevy Scout truck with working steering and these functioning U-joints in the axle. Edited January 9, 2014 by gasser59
freakshow12 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 500 inch big block dodge. Block and heads are from kit. Pro charger is resin. Rest is scratch built or heavily modified kit part. It has been an ongoing project lol

Joker Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks Carl... Had to make a goose neck because of the truck height. Did standard chassis attachment from Google image but went ahead and made a second to custom fit the GMC chassis with spare tire mount.

am73grand Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Here are some things I have scratch built: The barrel valve on this pro-mod motor: This roll cage is around 75% scratch built: These door panels are a combination of scratch building and kit bashing: The body on this wagon has A LOT of scratch building on it, plus pieces of 6 different bodies were used to make the body itself.
