The 'mog axles are beyond cool. The suspension is way trick as well. Lusterless green and black really pull the build together! Perfect!

Thanks again everyone!
This has been a quicky build as I can never get one finished because of scratchbuilding, etc...hope to "get-er-done" within two weeks!

Hey Jeff is there anyway we could see the frame, how you made it 4x4. Darrin, when I yank it back apart, I'll post a few pics of the chassis. Keep in mind though, this was just a quickie build, not shooting so much for accuracy. Got the stance where I wanted, but didn't exactly build the suspension like I would a 1:1...

Cool looking old Chevy Jeff! I really like the color,wheels and tires. Are the axles resin or?? Can't wait to see this project finished up!

Thanks Roger!
The Unimog axles are resin, cast by our old friend Jake (bigjeepzz). I do have a Revell Unimog kit & would like to have Alan cast the axles for his catalog...

Time sure flies when you get older I finally finished this one up. Thanks to motivation from the 'Model of the Month' contest for August on TMM: themadmodeller.proboards.com/thread/6434/august-model-monthIt was great that Bobby did this for Larry. I'd do something similar here, but we just don't get enough traffic Anyway, here she is, when I get some time I'll take some pics outside with some showing underhood and underneath ;D
