Dyno Davo Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hi guys, started on my next drag project. Plan is to build a 140" mid sixties style dragster. Kellison frame, 392 with the Tampa dump stance and chute pack body work. Got started on the chassis and some of the components. The seat has been made from aluminum sheet and upholstered in diamond trim, seat belts are ProTech. I'll post more pics next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 This is starting to shape up very nicely! Your builds are always fantastic to see, I can't wait for more. So far the work with that frame and rear axle looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Kron Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Beautiful work. What's the basis for the front half of the bodywork? The combination works out really nicely - very sleek lines. The chassis, I assume, is all styrene. What diameter rod did you use (.080"?). It scales to the eye perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyno Davo Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Looks good! But pardon my ignorance, but what is the Tampa dump stance? Hi mark, i believe its the term used to describe the forward tilt on the motor, normally between 3 to 8 degrees. Cheers dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chassis, I assume, is all styrene. What diameter rod did you use (.080"?). It scales to the eye perfectly. Hi Bernard, plans are not to have any front body work, it's just a personal choice thing. For the styrene I used on the chassis here are the details remembering this model is in 1/16 scale Roll bar tubing was 213 Evergreen rod Main chassis tubing was 212 Evergreen rod Chassis minor tubing was 222 Evergreen rod Hope this helps is this 1/25 scale, or bigger? Hi Joe, this is 1/16 scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
