Today progress is not so great at all, but I'm totally rebuild the front and squeezed the V6 working fake engine into it Now I doubt whether it makes sense to do a pickup wrecker, or is it better to concentrate on something like El Camino Wow, I know you're not trying to model after a real car but this front screamed Renault 4 to me. Iconic little car, had a pick-up version as wel. Anyway, love the built, eager to see the end-result.

That was really nice puzzle for me - to place all driveshafts and steering axles close to each other and save some space for driver's seat, fake pedals and so on This was the first tricky moment - placing 8t+28t gears (driveline from rear axle to gearbox) and 12t+12t gears (HOG steering) And another challenge for me - combining steering and fake engine drive via new 20t blue clutch gear On 5/8/2020 at 11:04 PM, I_Igor said: Somehow front suspension idea is familiar from somewhere... As I mentioned above - I used the same steering mechanism as in Lipko's hot rod That was the only way to make a compact front axle and to have only 2 studs between the front axle and fake engine. Any other solution (except pneumatics) will instantly increase the dimensions of the front part of the car.
