Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
 

Man, load bars and all in that box. Nice touch. See ya there.

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
 

Well, I figured it was time to dust off this thread ;)

Anyways, my truck is in pieces and I'm waiting on new frame rails and some other pieces to finish up the truck. I'm just hoping I'll have all the pieces and have it finished before St. Louis :confused:

Got some 5mm Bezels from Lynn, and installed a few on my frameless and got them all wired up! Still waiting on the ScaleArt cylinder to get here, hopefully it gets here soon, so I have an idea of what I need to modify on the trailer

That's awesome.That stretch is perfect.Glad the frame rails made it there and they are still straight.I have had bad luck with ups lately.:mad:lol.
Looks like she will be ready for STL.

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
 

YoungGunz, truck is looking real good. The stretch is perfect. Nice job.

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
 

Definitely looks like a " working show truck " . Nice JD. I didn't think I could love this truck more and yet......:cool:
So how long are the new rails?

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
 

Truck looked before, looks even better now

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
 

It looks ok...





HAHA J/K looks great with the stretch. Are you going to paint the rails black to match? Yea i ordered rails the week after Indy and Im still waiting......... He must be behind on orders or waiting for more to come in. Hope i can make it to St Louis and see the new stretch

J D
Anymore updated pictures?How do you plan on stretching your driveshaft?
TC,while I was @Indy this year,I bought 4 sets of frame rails from Ric.J D needed some,so I hooked him up.no sweat.

Ed

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"
 

Thanks!

Thanks man! they are about 26.75", I am pretty happy with the stretch myself :)

Thanks!

Thanks! I plan to paint the rails black too, I just have to finish up the deck plate and it will be ready to paint

Thanks!

I got some pictures for ya :rolleyes: I'll have some more tonight too :) I ended up ordering two drive shafts, one will go between the tamiya transmission and the 4:1, then a long one between the 4:1 and axle. I figured it up so the 4:1 will be hidden behind the fuel tanks, so you will only see the long drive shaft. Hopefully that makes sense lol I'll get some pictures of it


Here are some pictures of the deck plate progress....
