awesome. i got a reply. lol. thank you for the compliment. the suspension is made out of aluminum tubing that i am simply superglueing together. they are hinged to the chassis with a straight pin. the upright/spindle is a peice of aluminum tubing between a pair of 3/32 ball bearings, these did a pretty good job of replicating the ball joints and allow the spindle to remain in a vertical axis through the range of motion of the a-arms. my goal is to make a suspension that not only looks real, but functions as close to the real thing as possible. i've kind of put my projects on hold. I've been helping my girlfriend with her first model. and i've been trying to clear out some old parts to get some funds for my 1:1 project. an 89 S-10, i want to give it the pro touring treatment. i know its not your regular pro tourer, but i feel it has potential. keep the comments coming....and i will be more than happy to entertain any questions or suggestions you guys have.
