Hey Lynn, I've had good luck with this program opening .dwg files. Case in point you have to have it for the Western Star body builder download's (zipped).
Yer welcome, Neil#2 aka doodlebug |

Coming along very nicely ..Im pretty amazed at how fast you build these things steve..and with all the other work you have lined up its good see your making time to do your own stuff.
Hey steve what are your plans for diffs for this brute?..Looking threw my spare parts box i came accross some tamiya Mammoth/juggernaut diffs that look very hefty..they are top drive and with a little mods i think you could make one with a rear output as well.. |

Get more chucks for the lathe and a Aloris toolpost. Then you can switch out a chuck without disturbing a setup and leave a special tool in a holder.

Boy you learn fast! Great looking work! I stopped getting HS tooling quite awhile ago. Carbide is more expensive but lasts much longer, so it's a fair trade off. My shop time has dropped to about 0 after knee surgery. And to top it all off, I think my Sherline mill is in need of new gibs. Really not bad after 20+ years of use and a new bed.

OK, you will say I'm a "rivets counter", but the M75 had a tubular front axle ! So I propose you to send this one to me (will fit perfectly for the LRVSW) and make a new one with the correct design

Steve. Great gob on the axle. How do you plan to hold the joint together, setscrews or bolts. She's going to be heavy duty, that's for sure

Awesome work, Steve. I am looking forward to seeing the updates, as they come, which is usually what I reply to all of your posts! You have a lot great project builds going at once. I can't believe you get as much done as you do. If I even tried to do what you do, it would take me a lifetime, probably.
