Thanks John. The belts came from Model Car Garage and really are nothing special. Just small ribbon that can be picked up from hobby/ craft outlet stores and the buckles are from Detail Master

I installed the MUCH worked over ladder bars by cleaning up all the flash and injector pin marks that plagued them and applied some AK Super Chrome over them to bring them back to a chrome shine. Front axle from the Moebius Nova Gasser kit is now in place and ready for the installation of the disc brake rotors, shocks and steering linkage.

Joe,

What a beautiful job on those ladder bars! How are you connecting the front mounting points to the chassis?

I think I see the cross bar where the ladder bar pickup point mounts, but I’m not sure how they mount there… here’s my lovely (not) sketch.
