Hey Alex, great car, great pics, as we're used of you, or at least were used of you.
Didn't you announce getting out of the hobby a while back? I remember you saying something which sounded like: "keep an eye on e-bay as I'm unloading soon"
Anyhow, real glad to see you're back!

lol, i was wondering the same thing. nice to know youre still around dude.
i happen to be putting together my first hilift this weekend. i have had an absolute blast putting it together so-far.
your leaf spring blocks, are those able to just clamp one single leaf?
would it be at all possible to get them without the captured edges for the leafs? i can grind them down, but not near as nice. also, black anodizing would be really cool, especially for this kind of rig.
i think that front bumper is cool, but it completely wrecks and hope of a decent approach angle.

I did... and I did. All the Tamiya stuff is gone. The remaining few hundred models are supposed to be placed on Ebay sometime in September from what I've been told. This F-350 was just a project I've had laying around for a while.

I don't think so. You'd have to add a small slice of material to fill up the extra gap.

You'd have to grind them down. These are manufactured thousands at a time. I'd hate to have them change the CNC programming for a few or even one set. Sorry Hoopty.
