Just a silly idea that's been in my head for a while now . Li'l Red Baron parts with a front end from a Roarin' Rail , don't know about an engine . Haven't really thought any further than this , what do you think ?  |

The search is on for a suitable engine ! I say bash the L’il Red Baron engine with the Roarin Rail engine. Then,to quote Van Halen, you would have, “The Best of Both Worlds”! Thank you,I’m here all week. Don’t forget to tip your server! Lol! Todd |

I had a couple hours yesterday so I started playing around with the suspension . I want it a lot lower than the Li'l Red Baron so some cuttin' was done in the rear to get it tucked up against the body .  In the front I just removed the stock mount , added some mounting pins , and moved the radius arms outward . The steering arm was already missing from the front I'm using , a new one will be added later .  Here's the result .  The search is on for a suitable engine ! I say bash the L’il Red Baron engine with the Roarin Rail engine. Then,to quote Van Halen, you would have, “The Best of Both Worlds”! Thank you,I’m here all week. Don’t forget to tip your server! Lol! Todd The Roarin' Rail engine parts are way too big for this so I did some digging and found an engine I had started for a Hot Rod that was never finished . Not very "Tooney" but it will have to do .  After removing the tranny and some more cuttin' it finally fit into the chassis .  That's all for now ! To be continued . . . |

Made a firewall and filled the doors and other misc holes .  Digger needed a little surgery on his legs to be able to sit down comfortably .  Another test-fit before paint . I've got an idea for making new front wheels and I've got a set 3D printed headers that should work with the engine .  |
