mr68gts Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Got some more parts dealt with for the rear end that havent been posted so here they are. Still need to machine the tube adapters and the heim nuts but that wont take too long. The tubing for the bars showed up today so those parts are next. Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr68gts Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 Started machining the rube adapters for the hypodermic tubing that I've spec'd for the scale 4 link bars. 20 bucks for a 12" piece...... smdh! What did I get into 😅 Still need to machine the hex into the tube adapter then machine some jam nuts for the heim joints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian McLaren Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Paul I have been terribly remiss in not commenting here on your increadable modeling skills. This is an awesome project and the parts you are producing are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. I am in awe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr68gts Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Working on the Penske rear shocks at the moment! Yes those are actual threads!!!.. The shocks will be adjustable. Just need to machine the other main threaded tube then onto the spring collars. Â Â Edited December 8, 2022 by mr68gts Spelling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr68gts Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Â Been ever so slowly plugging away on the rear end section of this thing. Still need to make the wishbone for it and machine the nuts for thw heims. Most of the penske shock parts are done now. Also made the u joint bearing caps. Next major hurdle is going to be either trying to photo etch the 4 link brackets in stainless or having my co worker cut them on his Lazer cutter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
