  2. It just keeps getting better! David G.
  3. I used wire on mine. I'll see if I can get some photos posted tomorrow. David G.
  4. Time to throw a few more photos at you. OK, these are not the wheels I plan to use, these are the custom hot rod wheels. I plan to use the stock rims with bias ply tires which are a bit taller and will fill the wheel wells a little more. Also, the body is not sitting all the way down on the chassis. The slots in the front apron should be down over bumper brackets. This would drop the body two to three millimeters- at least in the front. Given those points, I think I'm mostly happy with the stance. The kit has metal wire axles which I plan on doing away with, mounting the wheels directly with styrene pins. This will afford me an opportunity to make more adjustments. I just like this shot. The red on the inner fender wells is too bright, but more on that later. Oh, I still need to make a six-volt battery! Thanks for looking and feel free to comment. David G.

  22. More photos of more progress! Wheels! Not the ones I plan to use, but... Wheels! Getting wheels under the chassis is, for me, a landmark event, an unofficial half-way point. I did have a bit of difficulty with the front suspension. When I got it assembled and first set it down, the right front wheel was about 2mm off the ground. So I disassembled the right side and made some adjustments to set things right. Here's the finished and detailed chassis. I may still add a fuel line between the fuel pump and the chassis and dust-up the rear axle, but otherwise, it's done. As always, thanks for looking and please feel free to comment. David G.
  23. Thanks Carl, I'm glad you like it. Thanks Richard. It's a fairly simple kit but there is a lot to work with- a lot of potential. David G.
