Makes the car look more like a Rhino than a Buffalo. :D

On my buddy's car, I got very little bump-steer having the tie rod inners mounted on top of the pivot arm, and outers on the bottoms of the steering knuckles. I see you've mounted your tie rod inners beneath the pivot arm. Try it both ways and keep it whichever way has less bump-steer.

All that polished aluminum is pretty...gonna be a real Blingalo. 8)

Thank you!

It's like you says abaout the "rhino touch" ;) . Box art does not have this part or the hole to receive it...

The bump-steer will be a minor détail, because, it will be a shelf queen :)

Nice looking Bobcat - It would be great to see it painted and decaled.

Did Jerome ever finish this beauty?
