shift13 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Well over the last few months ive been reasearching and planning this build. Ive decieded to put as much detail (as i am capable of) into the 1955 sportsman with an updated chassis. all of this build is going to be 1sts for me and im happy how its turning out so far These are only my mock up wheelie bars Then i had to cut out the rear of the tub to accomidate the new style bars Edited March 15, 2015 by shift13

shift13 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Spent a few hourst this week at the bench. Now that ive got allot more parts to work with its almost like its falling together First i needed to check if the rear brake brackets would fit the micro nitro rear hubs And its like they were designed for eachother
shift13 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Thiss was my first t8me really working with photo etch. Its a little crude but after primer and a little more clean up but im happy with it.
shift13 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Now on to the front struts.. I wasn't happy with the ride height so i built my own from scratch then added futurattractions front breaks for mock up
