The friction shocks were adjustable... they had a series of steel and friction disks alternating. I think the shock could be adjusted by loosening or tightening the tension on the disks. Here is a typical friction shock (this is on a Pocher model):

On the real car they would have been painted chassis color, but I left the metal parts unpainted because I think it looks cool. Inaccurate... but cool! :lol:

Harry, is this your model? If it is, I'd like to see more pictures of it. Come on, buddy, you are holding back on the eye candy. You are violatin' rule number 57! THOU SHALL SHARE THE EYE CANDY! :lol:

He is sick with Styrene Addiction, which is why he's my kind of SICK!

Virgil, you have to pay closer attention! I posted a whole WIP on that model in the Big Boyz section a loooong time ago.

We've been talking here recently about painting things never seen on a model ... so Mr John builds a pair of drop dead gorgeous batteries with WOOD handles and drops them in a hole to be covered by planks! HA! ... we all KNOW they are there! :)

Impressive work on those batteries... but since they'll never be seen, I have to ask... why???

I know, I know. Because you know they're there. But I guess I don't see the point of putting that much work into something that will never be seen. But hey... it's your model, build it your way! B)

Uhhh...sometimes they need to be taken out or recharged.

But if he starts putting in working cams, pistons, diff, brakes, etc. I'll know he's REALLY sick. Like some Pocher modelers I could name.
