Default Re: Classy Shak

Well I'm at it again. This time I started with the necessities, can't drive a Peterbilt if the seats are aired up, you'll get a nose bleed sitting that high.



I am using some Wedico seats. They are just the right size and they look better than the Tamiya seats.

I built the Pete center cup holder a while back and got it installed now.



Next I built some scale shocks. The stock Tamiya shocks measure out to be 4-3/8" in scale. I got some 1/4" and some 3/16" brass tubing and made me some proto shocks. the 1/4" = 3.5" scale and the 3/16" = 2-5/8" more to the right size.

However diameter was not the only thing that bugged me. The length of the stock shocks is WAY wrong. Making the mounting locations wrong specially on the front.

I made these so they are the proper size and then i made the proto shock mounts.
