Default Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II

Well two months have gone by again since the last time I worked on this. I had cut the leaf springs months ago and had most of the machining done on the trunnion thingy so I thought I should start putting it all together. In an effort to make the springs look thicker I sheared some styrene to the same width as the springs and glued it on. I then made up the U bolts and threaded the ends for 2-56 nuts. Once painted I think this will look pretty good. For now it reminds me of an Oreo cookie.lol I also finally bolted the front fenders on using 0-80 bolts.
