finally thanks for tip on posting pics. I'm using a grand hauler cab for the new build, so started by cutting the head lights out. I tried finding a local source for styrene, but no luck so far.

[Scott M]

I wonder why the pics aren't coming up

So I ended up buying some new axle brackets , it showed they had them, but then they refunded me and said they wouldn't be available till next week. My friggin axles are useless until I get the brackets. Does anybody else sell the lesu axle brackets?
thanks

[Scott M]

here's some of the parts collections as of now it seems to get deeper every week, and I still need parts. does anybody have a transmission like this they would like to sell?

[Scott M]

that's just a small portion of whats been shipped in. Or maybe its because I've been ordering just about two of everything.
Russ at truescale a.k.a the bone yard has been nice enough to help me through the process of a custom build, as well as improving my grand hauler.

started work on the new frame, rear axles, and rear suspension

I guess no pics tonight. Does any body know is there a place I could look on the site, that while I'm inserting a image what's causing it not to display??
thanks for any help its SUPER frustrating for me

I like the double hump fenders but if I could mount the singles efficiently I think I'd prefer the singles

[Scott M]

should be getting some more parts today for the front suspension

[Scott M]

So I had a chance to get some work done last night. I originally started the night working on putting a third axle on my trailer but quickly realized what I bought is different then the axles that are currently there. So I ended up using the third axles pats for the front suspension on the custom build, and it just snowballed from there. Thanks to Ric at Garden trucking sorry for bastardizing your parts. Hopefully all these pics will post

Oh and most importantly I forgot to mention a goal of the build is for the truck to have adjustable suspension

The way you are collecting shiny bits you will soon have enough for a third truck !
Your truck seems to be evolving and getting more interesting while you are building it.

Absolutely, if you would have told me three months ago I'd be spending money on a rc semi. I would have laughed hestarically. As I get further into the hobby my tastes are evolving, with the new parts I find available for these rigs. Your right though I do believe I almost have enough parts to build a third rig. Thanks!!
