misterNNL Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Several years ago I bought an aluminum modeling ruler under the name"MURPHEY'S RULE III".I do a lot of scratch building so is is a very valuable tool.Printed right on the face is this information:1/25 SCALE:1'=.480"/=31/64"/12.2mm.I hope this helps elimenate some guess work for everyone.
MsDano85gt Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 very cool will someone be casting your u haul box?
426-Hemi Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Well a half inch would be a foot in 24th scale slightly less in 25th THANK YOU! (I'm not sure others were understanding what I was trying to ask! I THINK the thickness of the line on the 1/2 inch mark BOTH "0" AND the other end at an exact 1/2 inch would be 1/25th just a little under that as i know its merely thousandths of an inch LESS then 1/24th.

OK Did a quick Google search, the "MURPHEY'S RULE III" comes up with nothing, ANY manufacturer name on that ruler? (I'd LOVE to find a 1/24th and or a 1/25th scale ruler, IF not BOTH of them marked on it......

Either one will have it.

exesivefire Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 rear bridge for axle clearance, need to find me a beefy center for that rear axle.
62pyro Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 BNL resins sells several rearends.Should be able to find what you need there. http://bnlresins.ipage.com/shoppingopencart/Aftermarket-resin-cast-1-24-1-25-scale-model-drive-train-brake-rotors-transfer-case-transmission-rear-ends/Aftermarket-resin-cast-1-24-1-25-scale-model-drive-train-rear-ends-custom-unique-Dodge-Ford-Dana-Chevy
exesivefire Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 I sure I have something useable, I just have to find it... Tried my hand at narrowing the front tires, not a ton but enough to take out that way too wide look pegasus tires can have, I might do the rears now too.
exesivefire Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 got all the tires narrowed up, and trimmed down the wheels a bit around the lip to make everything fit together nicely. I think it lays out quite nicely..
misterNNL Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Ain't it amazing how something so boxy can be so cool?
kilrathy10 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 That's awesome....The tires look amazing.....The don't even "look" modified.....Awesome....
exesivefire Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks everyone, I was pretty surprised how well they turned out
exesivefire Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 found a parts box axle, cut the center pumpkin out and made my own tubes> now I have a pretty good foundation to build off of. I like to put a metal tube through for stability and strength. Shouldn't have to worry about the axle "bowing" this way. I am going to have to notch the cross-member or two just forward of the axle though for drive-shaft clearance.
