Ok heres the 3rd part of todays update...... here I have the driveshaft safty hoops fabed up and i planned to use this aluminum tube as the tunnel but it didnt work out the way i planned.. Here the hoops are soldered in And here the tunnel has been soldered in Stay Tunned for more.

Hey fellas Im back with another update I was able to get the steering setup in , and the seat support, I was also able to complete the driveshaft tunnel and safty hoops enjoy...... Here the steering setup is soldered in .... pictured here is the seat support...

Hmmmm...... Spaghetti! Thx Cliffo Ol Boy. now im speechless

ok first let me apologize for the slightly blurry pics I know I need to step back a bit,.....never mind! what i did today was fabricate the drivers seat out of aluminum. hope you enjoy the photos. Here you have the seat I purchased (kinda looks like a 1960's dragster seat.) First i made a template of card stock then i cut my aluminum sheet from the templates i made. heres the finished seat next to the purchased seat, sorry i didnt get any shoots in between. I was finished before i know it. Stay tuned for more to come tomarrow.

Hey Joe your comments are always appreciated thx for the support!

Whats his name? i'd like to google him and see some of his work.

heres a pic of the chassis work hope you enjoy. follow the link about to see the full build.

I enjoyed that thx for sharing with us Janne. Excellent job keep up the good work!

Rick let me tell you brother! brass is so much better than plastic, for one once you solder it....Its a done deal not its comming apart ,you have to cut it if you want it off. And talk about rock solid this cage can probably hold 50 lbs (or more) on top of it and not bend....once you learn how to temper it and bend it the possibilitys are endless. thx for your compliment bro.

cant wait to get mine!

Thanks Cliff im glad youre enjoying this.

this is truely a job well done! oh by the way where can i get some of those magnets?

Good morning! it was a late night for me im not used to working on a build till the wee wee hours of the morning.

Hello again and welcome back to another of my builds this is also in the Big Boys section. Ive been crying about doing a fully detailed Pro Mod and Ive been wanting to do a large scale for too long so now's my chance to knock two birds out with one stone (cant believe I just sited that) anyway the plans are to scratch build most of the project starting with a full brass chassis and work my way around a few resin parts. So please feel free to join me as I travel down a road I have yet to travel. I needed a boost to get me back to my workbench so i got up last Friday and ordered a few resin parts to help me get motivated....... I also went to my LHS and picked up a few supplys I'm not gonna pretend I know what I'm doing here but i did learn that you need to make some sort of chassis jig if your gonna build a tubular chassis so here's the one I'm starting with...... I'm using 3/32 brass tubing which was calculated to be the most accurate size by my buddy Dave a.k.a. Comp1839 , so once I had my jig figured out I started by cutting my main bars and main hoop, and get to soldering........ and finally the main hoop stay tunned I'll have more today.....

bump!

I keep having visions of bubbling paint and dripping plastic.........
