OH man I should have stopped in when I had the chance! Now we have to do another trail ride to Paragon or RC, and we can all meet up at Randy's to check out his 90 before we hit the trail.:grin

Randy, you want to join the soon to be: "Rover - All Pro Soap-Box Derby League"?

My entrant has a roll cage, seats, rack and lights. Steering wheel included but it doesn't really steer much.

Thanks Randy. Yes, it's getting the galvy treatment. I was going to send all the pics to CVC when it's done. A few other mods, but the chassis is the key.

Nice progress pictures guys :)

Randy, I really like how those axles came out, how much did you have to pay to zinc plate the axles?
I agree with you on the diamond plates. As you know I have a set for my quarter panels and once we were wheelin in Carnage and I got stuck bad and this Toy guy didn't want to wait and decided to squeeze his way through, his tube bumper kept hitting my truck on the plates and he kept hitting them till I told him "you touch my truck one more time, I'll pull you out of your truck and beat the shit of a you" then he stopped :grin long story short I was amazed how they held up and didn't bend or anything, and I also dropped one side side on a big boulder and only gashed the paint no bend either. Good stuff.

Yousef, I found this plating company about 2 miles from my house. I was psyched.. They charged me $50 to do the axles and the spacers. They look good. THey kind of match the from GBR hubs that a a gold color also. Not too BLING.... lol. The body on my truck is 1/2 done. As soon as we get a nice day without rain and wind, We will prime some stuff. I will take pics.
