The pin head fits snugly into the plastic sleeve but allows the sleeve to move freely once installed - making for a more precise connection once the steering arm is attached - hard to describe …

The steering arm on the ‘24 cars - before they were supercharged - were attached to a lever and sleeve that poked out of the bottom of the car - inside of the chassis rail - maybe not such a good idea ?

Here’s the brake cable assembly installed on the left - now have to complete and install the right side - its a bit over-scale - but that’s a compromise that I’ll accept in 24th …

Gracias Kit. The front brake cable wires are attached with a “clasp” (part name?) that’s made w Evergreen plastic strip and some small AnyZ bolts - again left and right - the cable wire is some random accessory wire that has been living rent free in my parts drawer for aT least a decade or two- or three …

Some Indy cars - im thinking the climax engined Brabham Cooper of 62 also used 58’s - and some of the Lotus Climax engines ran the large Webers - like the climax engine im making for my dormant Lotus 32B build - the photo w the mic is very instructive - but fitting a scale correct engine w scale correct carbs into a 24th sc Corvette w NOT scale body panels is …. Builders purgatory …

you KILLED it! LOVE it - one of my favorite funny cars i never understood why the monocoque frame never took hold w the NHRA ... Do you know ?

finally opened this an a computer and not my tiny I phone Q's : looks like you shaped the fenders as separate parts and then soldered them to the fr body work ... and then shaped and soldered the bulge for the carbs ... how'my do'in ???

Yup

Gracias

More bits and peices - mostly nick silver and brass - wish i knew all the parts names - oh well ….

Gracias left and right …

Great great kit - painted mine light gray …. One of the first kits with photo etched wheels …

Never mind a parts count - 65 pages - way to go …

Love it even like the color now borrow an I Phone - maybe from a kid …. And treat us to a video of the hood opening and closing … gracias

Funny. I always thought that the kit Webers were overscale - but the photo suggests that maybe they are accurate - do you have the MFH fuel line - that would work better - hard to source but the .018 is great for this scale …

Left and right making these from nickel silver strip soldered to nickel silver .08 tube …

Cable brakes …. State of the art in 1925 …. safe? No reliable ? No. Similar to the brake arrangement on the Bugatti 35. The cable grabs this device - which then pivots the shaft to engage the brake in the drum - try this at speed on a bumpy turn - lots of luck …

Velcome back im a fan of MCW paints too …

The tie rod tucks into a recess in the lower body work - made From nickel silver tube - .040 - Albion Alloys - with pivots made fr nickel silver rod and some RB Motion nuts …

Adding the frame skirts forward of the axle and attaching the uprights - using epoxy for adjustment time …

“Some assembly required”. the fr uprights are cast to the brake backing plates - which aids assembly but also means that the fr wheels will not be posable - that’s ok - but i still have to make the suspension parts - mostly fr nickel silver … the castle style bolts are fr my Master Club stock …

Setting the pedals and the floorboards - almost ready to glue in the trans - checking to make sure that the steering column will clear the pedals …

Engine bulkhead - moved some holes - and did some trimming for a better fit - this is still a mockup …

Against all odds …
