Hooray a new half track posting! David great work, the front axle looks super! Can you give us some details? What did you add or make? I remember you were working the front diff?

Not having the M2/M3 kit <yet :roll: > I cannot tell what is stock and what is your work.

It looks great though! Keep posting pix of your progress.

This folder has needed some posts for a long time!

David,
Holy cow that is some extensive work! Fantastic job. I thought the frame rails looked different. The front differental and the brackets are superb! Wow! That will be one amazingly detailed track!

PM sent.

Thanks for posting photos. Beautiful work. Have you done any more with the casting?

Bob
