When I go to build the tank for the model a soon its going to be like a big horseshoe, that slides over the wheel tubs, and around the cage. Will be my most difficult yet  :grin:

Been ready... Just finding the time, know what I mean? With the holidays coming up, after the first of the year I would imagine. 2 hours to add an axle? Damn, that is some service right there... :grin:

Oh now you gonna change it up huh? lol... j/k :grin:

Seriously, I wouldn't mind. On long trips I'd feel a little better about it, hate going over bridges or big bumps in the road, makes me cringe seeing it bouncing on that single axle like it does..

Been looking all over for a tandem axle trailer, everything I find is junk. May as well put the money into mine, ya know?  I don't know, I'd get with you first see what all I'd need. Was just thinking that if we was gonna be working on it, may as well do it all at once.. :cool:

One reason for not working on the flatty. Body is blasted and some new expoxy primer. The rotesseri works great.

Got the front suspension back from the chrome shop, SO SMOOTH, bright metals in the heights is fast and does good work. All the other suspension left on front was already chrome. Still going to make another run there for some more parts before I assamble it after paint.

Those parts look sharp!

Do they re-chrome existing chromed parts?
They were very reasonable and do it the old school way. Yea the wishbones in the pics which are the 2 bars running away from the axel were crome and rusty. The stripped them and repolished and plated.Like any other chrome shop the more you bring the cheaper it is.

Well even though I am not working on it, always still gathering parts. Acuired my moon t tank for fuel. Also bought another crower setup, so I have 2 now. Will take what I want off both of them, then sell one complete setup.  :rolleyes:

1200.00 You can have the extra one. If youre really interested will work out a something.Both units I have were working when pulled. I am selling the one that is sitting on my boat in the pick. Comes with a pump, set up for alky. Been talking with Morq on PB and he had help but really likes the crower setups.
