Sort of a short day today... finished the shock links and put in all the bolts, etc. in the chassis. And made up the coilbox.

The shock links all together and note the little hex bolts in the front chassis rails. Added a bunch of square heads, too. You can just see the rear of the front spring mount that I also trimmed to mount flush with the frame. Bedded it with epoxy and will smooth it before painting.

Coil box going together. Several coats of urethane on the lovely little Walnut block. And then took the Amortek steel pieces and buffed them to mirror finish (the originals were polished aluminum). Epoxied them in place with quick-set and then drilled with a thin wire drill to set the 1/32nd rivets I picked up. The scale is much better than the kit ones for a really detailed look.

Coil box done and sitting on top of chassis rail, where things ended up today.
Cheers,
RPR
