Over or between wheels

Gerdo,

I like the look. Its very clean. Where did you get the fender flares that you have on there?

They are the outside edge of my steel fenders.

Greg and all,

Fred in Alaska has pointed out an error in the axle layout I posted before - I had underestimated the width of the hub, so here is a corrected version:



You could still, just, get this layout to work, but you would need to increase the cutouts in the body that the end of the suspension arms would move into at full bump - it's shown with zero clearance, so it could do with being 1/2" deeper and 1/4" wider. The alternative is to get an axle with enough down start angle that it doesn't reach the body at full bump - but that's not easy.

Here is how I plan to build over the wheels:

I am using the "Lil Diner" building CD I bought from Steve Frederick, with some minor modifications. I can't afford to buy a 5 ft. wide trailer, so I am building over the wheels. I will be trying to build as light as possible, as I plan to pull this behind my '48 Studebaker, to car shows.[/img]
