Howdy..
Got a much awaited package in the mail today...
My rear suspension.
Now I got most of what I need to get it to a rolling chassis this weekend, rolling on it's final frame rails that is..
I got the rear suspension put together to make sure I got all the required parts. The only thing plastic on this is the spring saddle, everything else is metal.
So this weekend I get to cut and drill the frame and start putting it together again.
Just need a few more parts, some of which I believe are on the way.
Some need to be ordered still..
I got some other parts in the mail the other day from the one and only Tamiya Cowboy. I got the dash and steering wheel, windows, fifth-wheel, and carrier bearings.
Thank you very much Paul!!
