Challenge trayback build

thanks Rob , yeah don't worry that cross member isn't finished yet it will need to be dropped down between the chassis rails once box and props are in ive just left it up there unfinished while i wait for the engine and box so i can cycle the suspension and check for clearance, then it will be braced etc.
i'm always willing to listen to suggestions, thats half the reason for posting up the build thread as other people may think of things ive missed :whistle:

will be in touch soon about those rose ends i PM'd you on Devon about, will also need some bent tube for my shock hoops, will you supply those? i know you do shock hoop kits but i just want the bent tube really then i'll fab up the rest. oh and can you supply steel wheels with a decent offset?

cheers

Awesome engine
What's your plan for transmission?

sure is













its mated to a lj78 transfer box meaning i get both diff outputs being offest

Looks like this is going to be a serious monster!

Update

Got the Rear panhard mounts started:





front top links are also started:



roughly assembled a hub and offered a wheel up to it to check for steering lock, seems OK so can carry on

i should point out all the brackets are only tacked, all will be fully welded then braced up once the suspension has been fully cycled

more soon,
