[QUOTE=techinspector1]Just playin' around here because I love to do this sort of thing. I'm working on my desk with a ruler at 1/8 scale. If any of you other guys like doing drafting/drawing, a dandy board can be had for cheap. Go to one of the home improvement outlets and buy a door. Cover it with a smooth, thin sheet of linoleum and make a down and dirty stand for it from some inexpensive 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 lumber. Makes a dandy board and you can easily draft out 1/2 scale automotive projects. T-squares and such can be bought pretty cheaply from drafting supply outlets. Drafting 1/2 scale and dividing the lines with the sharp points on your 6" dial caliper can get you pretty darned close. When done with your drawing, multiply times 2 and you have the dimensions for the actual parts.

I had to go back and search for this one Richard.... Got to thinking about it today when the dog and I stopped for a coffee break out in the shop.... I'm going to do this for the Bronco II... Reason being the short wheelbase---any errors in my calculations or the geometry on a short (95") wheelbase could result in an ill-handling 'lil truck and some guardrail to guardrail excitement!!!!

Anyway, thanks for the most excellent idea Richard.... Maybe it will help this nearsighted old man avoid a few miscalculations!!!!!

U-DA-MAN!!!!!
