thanks guys!

Peter, yeah it should be ok once i get shocks and the weight of the engine and cab should make it good. the fronts are adjustable in many ways (via the shock and also the cantilever leverage) but the rear i would need to change airbags to go harder or softer spring rates. its a pretty minor cost at the end of the build if i end up needing to swap things up to get it perfect.

Jeroen, the engine is actually already in and ive done a lot more since the last video, but haven't gotten around to doing another update video yet. here's a teaser pic...

Another great video and a giant leap... thumbs up would be a major understatement, I'll share it on Facebook as well. Can we watch the work of Grinder TV somewhere as well ?

I'm really amazed, what a wonderful project!
