Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
Thanks a bunch guys. Yes I hope to make the rear axles as well. I am not holding myself to it at this point but I don't think it's worth doing the work one one end and not the other. I started machining parts for the rear suspsension a while back. I also cut the rear springs at that time. Once the front is finished I will do the rear suspension and make a plan from there. I've scratch built diffs before so it's not impossible.
I made the spindles this morning. I had to do some work outside the shop this afternoon so I didn't get as much done as I had hoped but at least the wheels are back on. The spindles aren't all that scale but at least they are setup for the steering like a real Hayes.
I started with this chunk of plate and a crappy outline of what I wanted.
