I was going to simply say that it was looking better than the one-piece chassis/tub nightmare found in the kit, but that would be doing your efforts a huge disservice! ;D
Man, that chassis is incredible- it's almost a shame you'll have to plop that body down on it eventually. Are you going with a scratchbuild interior, as well?

Thanks Chuck for the compliments. I should be wrappin' up the Rockwell very soon. I wanna return to the Scout (and the Dodge!!!). And I do wanna apologize for takin' so !@#$%^ long to build. I gotta be in the zone to scratchbuild stuff (like most of you scratchbuilders). I think you'll like the Rockwell, though.

hey ed do you have any more progress pics? and where did you get your axles for this? reason i ask is i am trying to build a crawler from the same kit but leaving the kit chassis cause i'm not confident enough to do a whole frame right now. if you don't want to give out your secrets to everyone then pm me please and thank you

Hey crx. I have no secrets...not here, anyway. The Scout is on-deck...trying to wrap-up the Rockwell parts for the caster. The axle centers are the Dana 60s that Jake a.k.a BigJeepzz use to cast. I modified the centers just a bit and added the axle tubes. The covers are seperate pieces.

is there any way you could get some pics of the axles and the 4 link set up. How do you plan on doing the rear coil over loop that attaches the coil to the frame? or are you ditching the interior tub all together? sorry for so many questions
thanks for the great info so far

Hey crx. I just got back on the PC (since last Thurs!!). I will take some pics for you. I am scratchin' working hydrogen-charged air shocks, so there will be no coil springs. I am using the interior I made. And I never mind questions. I love to help where I can.

HI BIG ED, THIS IS SO COOL LOCKING. THE PVC IN THE TIRES MAKES IT LOOK LIKE THEY REALLY HAVE AIR IN THEM. COULD I ASK HOW MUCH OF THE FENDER YOU TRIMMED OFF? TO ME, IT LOOKS LIKE JUST ALONG THE OUTSIDE OF THE FLARE, OR IS IT A LOT MORE?
THANKS, TOM
