Thanks Aaron, the chassis will get another coat of blue and a coat of clear. The lift axle is a trailer axle that I cut the center out of just inboard of the inner most bearings/bushings. The center was replaced with 2 pieces of brass tube which the trailer axle sections slide into. I formed a u shaped piece of brass and soldered between the tubes. Then I formed a truss out of brass and soldered it across the top of the u and the tubes. Covered the rough edges with a little filler and primed it. I need to clean it up a bit and top coat it.
