hard core man, the wheels and tires really stand out on there

Thanks Guys!
Well made some progress,had to relocate the steering servo & linkage to fit d/box. This is the old mount set up.

This is the new location.

Purchased a few gear reduced motors for my screw drives,assumed they would have the hair needed for the task.Turns out there ok for the 10"& 14".Just don't have what it takes for the longer boxes.Have the right ones on order from Germany.But got tired of waiting on them.So decided to Freddy one of these for this build.This is what I did to make up for the lack of hair.


So now I have a reduced gear reduced motor.She should have the hair now. I hope!
She fit perfect where she was spoda.


For you gents that never seen this short vid of ole-yeller in action.

Thanks for lookin!

Very cool makeover Freddy!

Wow, Fred, those are some great changes! You sure know your stuff when it comes to making things fit, and finding a way to make it all work. Very cool. You make it look so easy.



One question - where did you find the pillow blocks on the driveshaft? I have been looking for something like that for a project. I didn't even think they existed!
