Very nice,one of my favorites

Thanks david, got all 3 magazines on the way.printed a great picture of your cheetah for my note book.

thanks for following brian. david i will start looking for those 3 magazines after this. hi Andrew, when are you coming this way? no stretching David got to fit right. I am going to have to build mostly off the buck after the windshield frame is made and attached. i cast 4 blanks to machine the tires . i can do them on the lathe because they will be slicks . going to take a while . i am looking forward to finishing the 55. thank you all

thank you micheal, its coming along. does anyone know when rb will be back or another place to purchase 1/12 and 2/16 rodends ? working on the rearend suspension, nee rodends to finish . i have an idea to try to machine them myself. the engine and transmission are coming together. shifter is made just have to make thr rods. going to work on the water pump tomorrow. got the top and bottom of the air cleaner machined. got material today to make the upper a-arms and then the shocks. the parts for the shock are made, just need to measure for length. tanks for all your comments.

the fractal vise is andrews fault ,he showed it to me. my wife got it for my birtheday,71 tomorrow. YIKES! the exhaust i have built dozens of times 1to1 on nascar cup cars. they are unofficially called boom tubes. working on suspension front and rear ,then i will get back on the engine. headers are a real hassle so far. i will continue to work at it. hi Todd. Trevor ,first time for me as well. very well made tool.

cant keep up with you or Francis . hope you are doing well. nice to hear from you all. this is a big project. much thanks to David Bantoft for the chassis drawing. i got a good start on it. still building the 55 also. got to keep an old mind and hands busy. here is a few pictures. to make all the uprights the same and make sure the fish mouths were in line on both ends. i fished mouth one end and soldered them on a piece of tubing so i could clamp them in the vise to fish mouth the other end with a .150 ball endmill. this way all would be the same. i started on the front fascia with the grill opening. i am doing alot of research. found a lot of picture but no technical drawings. measurements are hard to come by as i am sure David knows. sorry noel,cheetah was always a favorite of mine . stay with me, it might grow on you.

Thank you dave for the pm .

Nice

hi david . if i send you a stamped self-addressed envelope would you send me the chassis drawing i would love to have it. your cheetah looks awesome i have really enjoyed your post. thank you charlie

fractal vise, firewall is fitted and the new cage is going well

back so soon.glad to hear fromm you .this will be another big project. got a little start on the body today ,this is 1/12 scale. in between working on the 55. outside half of the front fenders are next them soldering . i am going to practice a little first.

just get started . going to be a long project.i promised after the Bugatti no more long projects an here i go again.i am going to attempt an aluminum body this time . we will see how this goes.i will post pictures tomorrow. i forgot to send them to one drive

thank you all for watching and commenting as it went together. i will post it on underglass soon

continuing on front suspension and rollcge.hi anton ,i did the cage with .125 tubing and to me it just looked wrong so i did it in .187. i didnt like it but i liked it more than the .125. after i read your comment and i had not decided what to do with it. i did it again in .155 and i am calling it good. i cant make myself do it a 4th time. i dont build to any rule books ,this is all fun and fantasy. if i had a rule book i assume the novi would be out of the question. my next project will be held to a stricter tolerance' i am going to buid a cheetah and try to get close to the original. heres the new roll cage and headers. the exhaust is almost done. the door panels and the rearview mirror. i will take more pictures this week and post again.

I dont have one but i will in a few days.thank you.it will be my birthday present from my wife.what a great lady.
