Default Re: T880 - Izzy style???

Back from vacation - and waiting for shape ways order - I'll post pics then. Spent time yesterday hooking up receiver and adjusting linkages for steering and shirt. my test run found that I had the pinion in wrong location and was getting a chunking noise (set screw hitting teeth..... so simple adjust and go forward - except I had to dig the tranny out to do it. But in all everything is settled now and ready to get back to the body work. I am anxious for the shape ways order - I ordered a hood clip and the headlight covers. This is True Scales design - but do understand it is for a peterbilt style not the t880 - so we have to see how clos it is - I think it has aspects the ford does not. For instance I don't like how square the side profile of the fenders on the aero are - whereas the peterbilt and the t880 are rounded.
