Total progress all in one spot.
I should have enough parts to put the basic Frame together. Need to figure out a sequence to make sure things stay level,plum and square.

Getting her squared up is definitely the key, especially with that long chassis. No doubt it will submit to your will, Jeff!

Thanks, Guys. A plan is hatching for the frame.
Marco, thanks for stopping in Buddy. I knew I could lure you in since this thing has 8 tyres/tires.

I came across a lot of Lego usage for keeping things straight...

Guess what? I got working U joints. I'm glad I paid attention to the orientation of them on the transfer case,cause if you don't they won't fit.
So, on the frame. Luckily most of the parts where just barley a press fit and after dry fitting everything a million times to get a sequence we ended up here. The Crankcase and the Transfer case where a very good fit but needed just a touch of glue.
The two halves were mated and slowly, bit by bit,with a dab of glue here and a little alignment pressure there, plus a healthy dose of Boots' jiggery pokery I ended up with a frame.
I think it came out pretty well. On to step 2.
As always

Step 2, 3 parts.
Spring Shackles and upper Airbag mounts.
Frame parts located,cut from the sprue,trimmed and assembled.
And installed.
The sharp eyed of you may have seen that I did not mount both K16's the front Spring Shackles. There is no position marking so I must wait until I install the front end to find where it lands
That's it for now.
