Then it all about symmetry.

Now I just measured 1/16 rod two inches long cut four of them and go by eye to what looks good, except for the first bend which is 120 degrees back.

Well been awhile sense I could work on the rod. It came to mind that I need some exhaust for the rod, and I just love sprint car exhaust. None come in any kits that will fit so naturally I must make them. I fiddled around and wasted 1/16, till l thought make a jig. I'm sure I'll make more than one set . So I started with my hydrometer tube full of K S material.

The paint and engine look very promising. Are you going to build a frame from scratch? Please say yes?

That LS looks awesome.

I have my wheels and tires in the mold.

Got more done on the frame. This has really turned out to be fun.

Thanks Bill, if I had the money I would get that press brake for sure.

Thanks Bill. I'll give super glue another try. As far as cutting it I use scissors. However, the medal deforms.

hey guys, I'm wondering what is the best glue to use with aluminum,How do I cleanly cut patterns?

Well working on the rat. Figured I'd do a 29 truck.

Cool biuld Brad. Let's have some up dates. I'm scratch building a frame for a sedan in the topic Bored.

Thanks Bernard, I just realized you're in Seattle! I'm just getting my feet wet with this. I try to imagine doing it in 1/1, and use the math to translate. There are so many ways to make a frame that you can't possibly see them all in a lifetime. Thanks to you Patrick. I'm just going on necessities and then using my imagination to cool it up. I'm just getting started and that's half the battle. Thx to both cheers.

Two hours later.

well what to do? The stone woods and cook is on hold, so with the inspiration from Bernard, you know who you are! I'm going to try scratch building a rat rod chassis. Wish me luck.

That's really cool. The cool thing about gassers is any full frame car can make a cool one. I want to make a chevelle gasser someday. I'm starting to like the dodges a lot, but I love my Chevys. I only like the fords for there mutant motors of the 60s and 70s. And almost none of the body's ever. Good company with you Steve, thanks for following.

Thx, Steve. I have wanted to get the interior done for the performance model club meeting today. What kind of stuff do you have?

I made the seat belt from paper and a sharpie. The buckles are thin styrene and a molotow pen. I drew black rectangles and use the molotow pen to outline the black. Then cut them out and glued them on the belts with testors window maker. The round five point buckle, is a small slice of 1/8 inch styrene tube and I used the pen for the chrome.

Well I got to the bench today. I wanted to get some interior done on the Willys. So I mounted the windows, and flaucked the carpets. This color is not white, which would be correct. However, I just wanted the car to look like the restored version, and there are no good pictures of the interior. All the pictures that I've seen is the old car or some other reproductions. So I went with an off cream and cobalt blue. I like it.

That is very cool man?

Yep, I'm going to take the tip out of the # 4 pen poke a hole in the back, and try putting it though my airbrush.

Michael, Great to hear from you! Thanks so much. How are you doing? I'm getting better all the time. Well I'll keep in touch thanks again. BTW, all the chrome on that frame and headers are thous new moloflo pens. They are unbelievable.

Thanks, Steve. I hope to put some time into this project this weekend i want to do the belt harness and the dash. keep looking I'll get going again soon.

Here's some of the progress of the famed Willys. I wanted to do the restored one, because that blue is so awesome.

This is a great thread! The altered cars are some of my favorite. This is a great car I love it BTW thanks so much for the straight axle drawings I must give this a try.
