Mooneyzs Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Randy... Every Time I check on this build it gets better. That front suspension is just Killer work. I know you have to have a ton of patience soldering everything. I know I am going to challenge myself on my next build to make the chassis out of brass. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to your next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unatural Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 This is looking better all the time. What are you going to do for the overall look? Will it be painted, leave it all brass, or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy D Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 I know it doesn't look like much progress but getting the upper and lower A-arms done and the shock mounts finished is a big step for me The up rights look crude now but will evolve as we go along Thanks for looking in !

Randy D Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi Folks, Thanks JC , One website in particular has been helpful www.gelscoemotorsports.com Click on the 'builds ' tab and they have some build blogs that have alot of useful pics. Hi Joe, thank you ( your 'rebuild' progress looks like it is rollin' along !) Chris, Thank you for the nice comments, I'm really looking forward to meeting you at this year's DSC and getting to see your project in person. Need to get the lowdown on your upcoming projects also Hi Dave, Thanks and it has been interesting to have the two builds going on, lots of tarnish to deal with Just noticed you are from Az., hope to meet you also ! Hi Tim, Thanks my friend Art, Really appreciate it , kinda gets hard to see the end sometimes Pretty small update but still progress !!! Building the anti-roll bar and attaching it ..... I will have to shorten up my rod end connection as this thing raced with about 4" of ground clearance!! Thanks for looking in!!

Codi Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Randy, the real sign of genius is making something difficult look simple upon it's execution. Great job. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark IV Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 There is not much ground clearance from the bottom of the anti-roll bar link to the ground.....when the tub is set to 4.5" the clearance to the lower link is less than 3"!!!! I live in constant fear of speed bumps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
