Impressive progress!Couple things though: will Julian be drawing plans for this vehicle, and where is the giant ruler in some of the shots for scale of this 'model'?
Nice! Handy place for a door, good planning when building the house....Never heard of CopGraf before, had to go look that one up (anti-sieze compound). Does that have lubrication properties, would it be useful on the models for bearings and such? Or is it just to keep parts from siezing?
Ah, got it, did not realize all 4 wheels had roller bearings as-purchased. You are just about ready for a test drive, just steering gear and motor mounting, then sit on a bucket and take it for a spin!
Great job Thomas your work is outstanding.. I have read through your build and pictures and have a question about the spring perches the ones on the frame are made out of angle iron and the ones on top of the axles or flat plate correct, are you going to put a arch of some type in them to match the curve of the springs are just tighten the bolts and just have a flat spot in the springs??? I'm planing on building one as well hope I have good luck as you are, I'm just in the planing stages now to cold in IL now.. Thanks again and great job
Did you make the rack and pinion yourself?
