Rummy's Savage E-5SC

[NickRummy]

Finally some fun updates with good progress! 44t steel spur installed on the trans, 15 pinion installed on the 1717 and all meshes up well. Did some fitting with parts and came up with a game plan for the rear bumper assembly.

Couple new holes in the stock 5SC bottom plate.



Pretty nice fit! I need to copy over the outside lines of the stock savage plate so that this plate will fit inside the hinge pin braces and need to trim the front of it so that it'll fit inside the TCS plates but it's actually a really nice fit. I'll have to figure out a few more mounting points too. These 2 holes are all I used now just to get it in place and see how things fit.



Everything in place minus the stock savage tower. I'm going to try and modify the stock baja upper plate to tie into the TCS plates to stiffen it all up.







FFRC cage extenders put up front. Looks like this will work out well. They're not the right diameter (since they're meant for the back of the cage) and a little long on the bottom but nothing that a dremel and a few minutes won't fix.



Body on shots.





I'm gong to work on copying over the outside edges of the stock savage plates today. Once I get that done I'll mount it up and move to the front since I know the back is where it needs to be. I need to try and get the body out to paint here soon so I can get it back in time for the 1st run!
