Dragracer Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Looking good! When I get to that stage of the build on my P/X, I was going to do a normal 4-link set-up, but after looking thru some old Drag Racing Monthly magazines, I thought I'd go ahead & try a different rear suspension set-up, something you don't see too much.
baddgass Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 Oh yea this is looking real good I like the coil springs, and the mounts. Really diggin these larger scale builds... I like the bigg stiff too! Looking good!

Tell me more!
Dragracer Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 O-K you asked for it.I'm planning on building a swing-arm rear suspension (developed by Murray Anderson from "down under") for my '71 Dodge Demon P/X.It's one of the questions I asked the tech at the ADRL to make sure it is a legal set-up, it is, so I'll try & put one in.
Romell R Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Derrick Your scratch building skills are excellent! This is shaping up to be a killer build, keep up the outstanding work! love that 4 link by the way.
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 First time viewing this thread...un-FREAKING-believable!!!

Dragracer Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 The suspension looks good Derrick!, like the color of the springs.
Romell R Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Derrick you must wear kevlar ovenmits when you build, cause this build is hot! P.s. when both our builds are done were gonna have to putt em on the 1/4 mile. LOL! Edited June 17, 2011 by Aftashox

stump Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Nice rear you got there Derrick....... Er, not being personal............................ :lol: Looking fantastic mate, the rear shocks fit nicely.
baddgass Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 Well bros. got some work done on the wheelie bar, i'll get that finish to night and mybe track arm.
baddgass Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 OK got the wheelie bar and the wishbone done.
baddgass Posted June 25, 2011 Author Posted June 25, 2011 Well some more pics. I got the rack & pinion, steering wheel and column in.
Dragracer Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 The complete steering system turned out fantastic, if I ever get around to making a 1/16th scale P/M build, I sure hope I can build it close to this build, it's great!
baddgass Posted June 25, 2011 Author Posted June 25, 2011 Thanks guys had to make one mod to the steering.
