Its a show truck, purple is the theme, it's built to grab your attention.

TBH, for a show a truck on 44's its in pretty nice proportion. I LOVE the front IFS set up on the rear to get rear steer, very clever.

Incidently Mr Barker, my Technical Drawing teacher CIRCA May 1978, if you're reading this can I have my copy of Custom Car back now please, the one with Roarin' Rat on the cover, I only bought it that morning and didn't have time to finish it, thanks.

Did you used to nick the "Custom cab" signs off of Transit vans and fettle them so they read "Custom car"?

Just looked at the pictures of the truck more closely.......You've just got to love a guy who will go to the trouble and expense of engineering four wheel drive / four wheel steer, and the goes on to spend twenty five quid on a "Womble fur" interior.........................

i thought that but the extension tube would be on the other side and the prop would have to go over to the side
just had a look at the pics the diff hasnt been flipped and it looks like there isnt any half shafts on the rear
