Re: Izzy's equipment
Mike - I've helped a ged number o fbuilders gather their thoughts on their articulation - pointers and suggestions - post a thread and I'll keep an eye out for ya - if you already have one throme a bump and I'll take a look.
Also - please know that I had serveral weeks of late night pondering and a couple of attempts to get this one right. She works well but is tempermental about being flat when splitting .... not so much when re-attaching There are plenty of methods to accomplish this - but I think I am the only one who can - raise, lower, split, support while split & un-hook ...... all with one channel .......

Re: Izzy's equipment
Izzy, nice job on your builds. The IH I've seen before, but I don't remember seeing a lot of your lowboy, in detail. I enjoyed the videos. Thanks for sharing them.

Re: Izzy's equipment
Chris , I'm not much for cab overs , but this 1 certainately warms my hart . I would say perfect right down to the scratches in the bumper . It amazed me the patients you had to mod that cab
 I did enough cutting and piecing together real one's I don't think I could stand to do it on a model . IHSteve

Re: Izzy's equipment
On the headache rack. How big are those chains and how strong are they? Are they welded? Can I see a comparison photo next to a rule?

Re: Izzy's equipment
Izzy super nice, good engineering too! I remember seeing your truck "idling" at Indy and thought that was cool as heck.
