JTS CUSTOMS Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 alright time to get started here, Ive been playing around with this build for about a month now , trying to prep for it .suspension is something new to me as it is an independent suspension. so at 1st I bought the wrong parts , this booboo cost me 180.00usd . but im hoping I can resell the itemback to the build. I went with plastic side but alum backers, alum cross members and alum corners. I do want the chassis to be able to twist a little under stress.the truck will be 34 inches long by about 13 inches wide . tires are about 5.5 iches tall. im going to detail much as possible. maybe a 1/10 engine under the hood. I was going to do military colors, but ,been there done that. I was thinking maybe yellow , blue and alum color, not sure yetthe bed I do something crazy, but I don't want let the cat out the bag yet . im figuring 6 month build , 600 plus hoursif you want to see the real truck google maz 537. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTS CUSTOMS Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 I made four belly plates , these sit right under the axle for protection and later the transaxle mount on top them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
