Not necessarily "WORKING", but it is movable . These are a bugger to lower and still look like it should. So this was an experiment, a bit more work than usual, but will look correct. With what you've done already a couple of springs from a pen, a q-tip stick and some thin rod to fit inside and it should work since your half way there already. I thought about that too Les, but how far do you go on parts so small i can't see them to fabricate... cant-believe-my-eyes-smiley-emoticon Instead, i got the fuel cell fitted, and the chassis chromed..    |

That fuel cell looks as snug as a bug in a rug in there Dale. Chassis looks sharp as well. Taking notes for my 41 for when I finally get that on the bench. icon_writing_zps7tebrblw

That's looking sweet Dale and all the scratch building is spot on. Have the same problem on the willys I'm building at the moment trying to replace the original springs and shocks. The originals are bad enough to try and detail they're so small never mind trying to scratch up a set so I have settled on using the originals. Also dont mind those rims you have on it at the moment gives it its own look. Cheers Steve

Cheers men, well, started the motor, there is something very different going on top of the blower though.  And had to widen the rear end for a change, so cut it, and......... got to work that out yet..  |

I never thought I would see you tupe the words, widen the rear end, lol. If you have any of those souveneir flags, the poles are just about the right size to slip over the axle ends and not too thick.

I have found some tubing to go over both parts, after paint, it should not look that bad i hope... |

Smacked out the interior last night guys, pretty basic white with some stitching on the door trims, and added a screen to the console too.   |

What is this widening you speak of???  I believe that'll be a first in the subjects I've seen you build. Engine build up is coming along nicely and I'm really liking the touches you're adding to the interior Dale. I'm kind of like everybody else though........what's goin' on top of that blower.... icon_hmm_zps07rcoppf |

Clean interior! I think you got that stitching down. I don't k ow if I caught your response last time. What type of glue do you use to avoid it from getting hard before you put it in place?

I use FORMULA 560 CANOPY GLUE, which i put down on the tip of a tooth pic, about 1" at a time, then lay the thread down, then progress on like that, just keeping it lined up with a fresh tooth pic, so it dries in the correct position.
