Great looking build, very much enjoying following your build posts. What is the source for the aluminum rear ends (differentials)?

Thank you for the information,

Jim

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
 

Great looking project! Love the axles you had made :eek::cool:

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
 

took me at bit of time before I got in to this one, been looking at most of the parts for years before I put my money where my Ideas was :cool:

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
 

thanks Scott M, its my first attempt at the interior, been thinking of how to do it for years, then I just starting cutting in to some styren, it aint that bad once you get going :D

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
 

thanks, I got a friend of mine to polish them for me, so really cant take credit for the bling:cool:

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
 

thanks Jim :rolleyes:
I really cant remember where I got them, maybe rcbmin.com or rigid.com , they are just shells and uses tamiya differential parts so they aren't that pricey

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
 

I'm curious, why is it popular to move the front axle forward, and cut the front fenders like you have?
Thanks!!

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
 

thanks Lucky7Dave it was my first attempt at making one :cool:

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
 

I fucking hate these trucks sometimes, got this pretty awesome "kenworth" frontend from shapeways, everything is dandy, cut the hood of my king hauler, minor rebuild in front of the windscreen, so I'm sitting here at my work table smiling planning everything can't wait to ship it of to the painter, even talked to the painter yesterday, bragging about how great its gonna be when it get the custom blend green paint I got made for it, and then I kinda look at my new hood, and my polished aluminum grill doesn't fit, it's about half an inch to low, so now I got around 7 pounds of aluminium parts, just about ready to throw everything out the window...

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
 

These projects can make you go insane. It's looking awesome though. Keep up the great work.

Re: all dressed up and nowhere to go
 

Thanks Jared31, I will try, but I guess its always when everything seems to go perfect it turns around and drives you mad
