10-4 I'll have to try that then. BTW I have to make sure this is noted incase anybody thinks that's my work, it's definitely not.... That is a image I borrowed from Scale sprints that shows pretty well what I was after. So it's just doctored to illustrate my question alittle better. It's definitely not my frame, but I hope I can make mine look just as good. Here is his post over on scalesprints. http://www.scalesprints.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1163

Hello all, First post on here. I'm registered over at scalesprints.com and I've been working on a sprint car model. Long story short I'm getting there, but I've run into a snag. The car I'm building the model after isn't at all similar to the kit. So after messing around with the kit chassis I've decided that my best bet might be to build one from scratch. So I've figured out my tubing sizes and such and I'm about to pull the trigger on the parts I need but one big question is popping up in my head. "Will this joint hold"? I am planning to use TB-1 and TB-2 tubing with wire inside from Plaststruct to build the lower base tube of the chassis and the upper tubes and down bars. Both sets of bars would come off a front and rear torsion bar mount on the chassis that is either a solid rod of styrene or butyrate. My concern is will I have an adhesion problem on those torsion bar mounts being there is wire in the middle the down bars and that lower frame bar? At the end of it all the weight of the model will hang from these two sets of bars (front and rear). Just looking for some help and guidance. This is the first time I have built a chassis from scratch so I would like to set myself up for success from the get go. Thanks. Jason
