Thanks CT & Rob! Fiddly isn't the word for it!!

What I managed to salvage after running around all day...

I placed the tow arm last night as well. Today, at some point, I will begin to takle the Leaf springs, brackets and shackles for this little guy!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Yup, the suspension!! Everything is ready to go together. I need to bring my girls out to a Halloween Dance tonight. Try and start putting some things together after that!

Man this is cool. those springs look wicked

 

[spud]

wow the springs are cool.

 

[TRM]

They do look really nice!! I wish I could get them for more things! I am thinking the U-bolt and Shakle will make these springs look even better!! I guess I'll find out later on tonight! ;D

 

[Chris S]

Them springs look real nice T !!....handy the way you just fold them together .I look forward to the shackles getting fitted .

Chris.

That is some fantastic building. Wasting no time either I see.
Springs are sweet, and such a simple PE design too. Is that something new or is there lots of them out there in the AM catalogs?

 

[TRM]

Hey fellas!! Thanks!

As for the springs..not sure Myke. I haven't done too much research on the availability of them for other kits yet! This was a luck shot that I ended up with it....Don't laugh....picked the whole thing up for $5, barrel, kit and PE, at the last show I went to!!

Chris they do fold unbelievably simple and the bend not so bad...the shackles on the other hand!! This part requires more patience, more than I can muster tonight. I started in and got one side done and popped off he rear bracket when trying to affix the other. With a sigh, I set it aside for the evening! Best to rest on it than make too much of a mess!! ;D

 

[CTspeedshop]

T, I'm starting to think you are a Jedi. ;D

 

[TRM]

Finished the dreaded suspension!!

Final setting before it goes down to wait to be painted!!

Thanks for having a peek!!
