1970s Dodge Tradesman kustom van

[frizzen]

Put it together with metal ball end upgrade links on the trimmed & drilled stock Plastic 4-link setup.
The rear shock towers came off, and some stiffened printer support matrix got melted to the chassis intead, and the shock pass-through holes got bigger for some reason...

Front end could still use a bit more chrome, but it's not looking too bad for first coat. My pens weren't playing well that day.



The trans uses the lower mount holes to keep short plastic driveshafts together. Ground clearance is good, and i don't care about Break-over angle.
I cut out the bottom of steering servo mount, clearanced the rear chassis crossmember where the upper links hit. Back tires tuck ok. Front just really doesn't want to drop, so i'm probably going to raise the bottom of that servo mount up.
It's almost like this chassis was desiged as an off-roader instead of street-machine.
