Default a slight difference

When I bought the 68 it was a ten bolt mono leaf and solid but dirty... I swapped to a 12 bolt multileaf and added the traction bars. This past weekend I got some more detail work done underneath and added the new tank. I think it looks a little bit better myself . The 3:73 ratio made a lot of difference over what ever it had before....





Now...





Tommy

That's cool. That's the way a lot of them looked back then, wheels and traction bars!
