Been busy lately due to my cars break-in/trunk tools ripoff Issue & general business of life,Just installed trunk "WOLO" plate over new lock & am hustling up a set of tools from my father's old stash , JCW & Harborfreight.
Did get in some "HO" time tho' & finally completed my 2 Axle Semi TCR.Finally found a use for those helmets from my 1:35 "military bits" - :hat:as a rear diff housing ! Also used plastruct mounts so it can run on a TOMY G+ chassis.
Interesting that the Rear most tires from my old Artin cars are already hardening from exposure to air.Will have to replace when they ooze clear liquid & fall off.Had to put Tyco wheels on my Artin Cars.Must be why they flopped in the market!
Next time will get a junk rear section from an AFX truck & save some time.
Any how here are some pics,Enjoy !

Neal,

Man you just made me very happy. ME--> :D I have been wanting to put a Tomy Chassis under a Semi Body for a long time and now know how. An AFX Mag or non Mag-natraction chassis fits under those AFX semi trucks but, Tomy is a no can do. :cry: Maybee Bruce can fix up a replacement part that would allow AFX Peterbuilts to work with a Tomy Chassis? Heck I may just need to try it myself also? Thank you! You are a true customizer Dude. :dude:

Have a couple of Ideal Semis that look just like yours. Ooooooooh boy! Have taken an AFX rear end of a Peterbuilt and gooped it onto a Tyco to pull my Pup Trailers through my up and downs on "Las Zillas Speeday" (Dubbed by Nuther). Can pull 5 pups with that contraption. Will be a hoot to see if a Tomy can do the same or better? The competition is on baby!!

Bob...Thanks for sharron...zilla

Will have to replace when they ooze clear liquid & fall off. Hopefully they don't go out and terrorize the countryside after they fall off. :lol:
