Doo Hee....thanks
Shagg....I found a drawing here (i think good 'ol Rusty drew) that explained the steering...a collection of shafts and universals, but I'm not even thinking about that yet. golf kart rear axle might be good - however this vehicle is larger than I expected - which I am totally fine with so I may adjust my ideas for axle as well as the engine that will be used. I too am anxious to start welding.
Jack...thanks! I can honestly say if it wasn't for this site, I def. would not have gotten started so quickly and been sooo motivated. I'm picking up a 220 stick/arc welder today and will be practicing this weekend. I will continue my wood frame also and hope to be close to fully done with the chassis by Monday.
thanx guys...!!!!
...does it come in black?

WOW! I'm surprised nobody else has thought about building a Tumbler out of wood to get the panels worked out...

thanks rusty...it'll be the same size as this wood model. I thought it was going to be half scale but, um...it's not. it looks like it'll be about 3-5 feet smaller in length as the original is a 16foot monster. EGADS!

| Coming along. using the brick as a seat i sat in it. although I originally wanted it a bit smaller, i sit comfortably in it. after all when your jumping from building to building, you want to be comfortable. I guess the axle is next.

| Done for the weekend. Much bigger than anticipated. took a deep breath. will scale steel slightly smaller, but I must admit, I like the size. 
Wheels are not to scale.

| Dude it looks great. You truly are the miter master. You'll need a little bigger tire. I can't wait to see you start working on the body panels!!!
