Not sure if this is the right place (its kind of a street Rod/Mud bogger dragster) any ways on to the pics....

Based off the Ice T model. I have the So-Real BOGGERs/w rims and a rear axle. I need to find a coil over front axle, so this may be a long build. Just something a little different I figured....

I think I found the shocks I want to use (late last night)

They are off of a Losi Micro crawler. I can cut some of the coils out to adjust for height. I only had 2 good ones, so 4 more are in the mail. Looking for a coil front axle (like the resin ones) and have a bid on E-Bay. I will try and make the links out of some small all thread I have and aluminum with more Losi Micro ball joints and ball ends (which should make the suspension work)

I finally got some more shocks in, so here a little up date on this (hopefully someone is interested) anyways here we go (just a couple of pics...

I filled the rear of the frame of the T with styrene and cut the tailgate and mounted it to the body....

Im still waiting on some axles (I have 4x4 gluebomb van and some B-N-L rockwells on their way), and then I can mount the rear shocks. One set is mounted to the body (front) and the rears will be mounted to the fuel tank....

I have really been enjoying this build, I have been adding a lot more detail with this one. You guys are a bad, bad habit (but I like it). Thanks for looking
