Thanks for the info and very nice build indeed!

Thought I'd 'test' another set of tie rods and ends. The natural white is more fitting.

very nice and clean. love the dremmeled edges. gives it a nice clean look. I like your decision to change the ball cups with a more nutral white. 1 question still remains. Does it glow in the dark?? :idea:

I like those rod ends much better. The other ones were too white. :)

Beautiful build! Those are Trinity Universals BTW. They wear EXTREMELY quickly, so don't fall in love with them :( . I had a set bitd, and they lasted 6 runs. From NIP to wearing apart. I didn't lube them, but if you are going to run them, I would definately think about it. Can't wait to see it finished. -Jeff

Got a few more items almost finished like shocks and wheels/tires. Was just waiting for a project to mount the Sees wheels onto. :mrgreen: Those are from the infamous treehugger from last year. I only hand polished them. Didn't realize that the aluminum inline axles were a different thread size than the original older axles. I have to re-thread the front knock offs.
