I am going to use some axles that I designed, the internals will from a tlt axle.
I will have to shorten the axle shafts, byt its the challange in it.
I will start making a pattern for casting the axle housings in the morning.
Still don't know what to do for the front leaf springs. I want to stay close to scale, but may have to compramize. If I could find some blued 1/4" annealed spring steel, I would make them myself.
I found some at McMaster Carr, that is 60$

I only need 32 inches worth.
So if ya know a supplier that will supply short lengths, I am all ears.
Took this beast up to the hospitle to show my Dad, he was impressed. (first time in 53 years

)
Now he wants out so he can turn the rims.
