Megahauler WIP- Update 17. Aug.`17

[hobbybobby]

Thank you very much! ;D


This is an example, why some projects takes so long.


The rear axle that I've built, builds too high. (Body, rear axle and wheels combination)






I have the body, somehow to get deeper.

So I cut the rear axle separated again.






The rear springs will be therefore no longer used.






I have the supports of the stabilizers rotated, so that they now look down.

The whole thing, back together, looks like this:







The holes in the body were replenished. (For the no longer required springs)

There is a new hollow, so that the differential has enough space.







With this change, the body is now 10mm lower.







Maybe I do later with O-Rings a sort of air suspension...





Now I come to this recess in the body, which has certainly very confused one or other of you. ;D ;D ;D



It remains obviously not so!

Yes, it would look somehow "not finished".


In this open place, I set a fuel tank.


No, not any "Off the shelf fuel tank".

One that is tailored precisely for this thing.

A homemade one, precisely.









Implanted into the body, it looks like this:










Hope, you like it so far...

Bobby, Why it takes so long is you are a perfectionist and perfection is what your builds are. I'm blown away

Said perfectly ;D

Great work. . . I might have had the drive and the motor switched to hide the drive train.

Just my thought

[hobbybobby]

Dan, ?

What do you mean exactly?

A British version? ;D ;D ;D

?

[barten]

The drivers seat. . . where the engine is. . and the engine where the drivers seat is. . . . and then the drive shaft is under the car body and not in the open

Just a thought.

I love the gas tank! and the fitting into the open area.
