W-409 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Thanx, Scott! Let's try again. Last time my stupid computer decided to shut down while posting this thing. So I've done a little work with the chassis, I cut the driveshaft tunnel area open, so I can install the tunnel when engine and rear axle are mocked up, and I can see how much it needs clearance. And before I can mock those up, I have to make rear axle wider, so I can test fit it with the body and rear tires, so I know what the ride height will be. Then I have to make that rear axle crossover part for the frame, and after that I can finally mock up rear axle and engine. Tricky, Huh? Also started the work with bondo! Tons of sanding and more bondo left, but here's what it looks right now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 I took a break of this build, but now it's back on the bench again. As previously, it's again just a project I work when others are drying, so the progress is not fast, but at least I have done something. I decided to shorten the rear end of the body a little. I think it looks better now. I am thinking of should I narrow the body a little or not.... Maybe I will just leave it how it is now. Suggestions welcomed.

Dragfreak Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Great job on that frame Niko!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks Jason! Much appreciated. Actually I managed to do some more work today. First I cut the Rear axle in to pieces, and the tubes where those Drive Axles (?) go, and drilled hole for the center part of that Axle so new tubes run through it. Sorry this is bit badly said, but that's just because I don't know how to say it in English. Then I started to make the rear frame for it from styrene tubing... Next I'll move on to Four Links.

W-409 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Thanks guys, I was really suprised to see this topic on the top! The Dodge has been sitting in a box for a while now. I've been thinking of the chassis parts and how they fit. Maybe it'll be back on the bench soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
