Wow, amazing work. Inspiring stuff for sure! Steve

Finally getting back to work on this one! I did a test build of the Strange rear end and 4-link I got from Futurattraction that I'm using. I used Scale hardware 0.6mm bolts and nuts to build it. Next I'll solder the chassis brackets to the chassis. I also need to measure because I believe the stainless tubing needs to be shortened to get the wheels tires to align correctly with the body. Need to also do some measuring to figure out the back of the chassis where the the shocks will be attached. That's it for now!

Definitely having some fun - update coming soon! Thanks, Tim!

Much appreciated! Getting a lot of great tips and info from this forum for sure - some amazing builders!

BTW - I don't think I've ever seen anyone mount the chassis to the body that way before. Do you plan to paint those rivets (or whatever you call them) on the outside of the body used to mount the chassis? Steve

Nice job on the chassis - very cool!

Thanks, Dirk - long way to go!

Ah, yes, I see. I'll try a bunch and see what works. Thanks again!

Peter - the 00-090 hex nuts I'm seeing are still nearly 2mm across the flats. Where are you finding correct proportion nuts? I'm wondering if I should just cut the hex ends off my 0.8mm hex bolts and just use those - i've got a lot of .8mm hex nuts...

Yes, thanks! I actually found them last night. I bought some of the 000-120 threaded rod, which is pretty close to 0.8mm. The nuts seem a little big though... Steve

Thanks much, Greg - very helpful. I'll check those suppliers out.

Anyone know where I can get some 0.8mm diameter threaded rod? I know Scale Hardware has 0.8mm diameter hex bolts, but the smallest threaded rod they list is 1mm diameter and I need 0.8mm. Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Cool - hope to have an update soon.

Looks ready to run. Finishes really are amazing - very realistic.
