69 pro mod chevelle, chassis started mock ups

[mr68gts]

Got some more parts dealt with for the rear end that havent been posted so here they are. Still need to machine the tube adapters and the heim nuts but that wont take too long. The tubing for the bars showed up today so those parts are next.

Started machining the rube adapters for the hypodermic tubing that I've spec'd for the scale 4 link bars. 20 bucks for a 12" piece...... smdh! What did I get into ?

Still need to machine the hex into the tube adapter then machine some jam nuts for the heim joints.

That it does! And I would gladly spend it again.... in fact I bought 2 sticks of it! 20 a piece, 20 to ship.... such a deal ! ? Cause ya never know what I'm gonna build after this one! ?

Tube adapters are done....onto the jam nuts for the heim joints.

Paul I have been terribly remiss in not commenting here on your increadable modeling skills. This is an awesome project and the parts you are producing are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. I am in awe.

Working on the Penske rear shocks at the moment! Yes those are actual threads!!!..

The shocks will be adjustable. Just need to machine the other main threaded tube then onto the spring collars.

That's wild brother, love the detail

[mr68gts]

Been busy machining the parts for the rear Penske shocks....

[Tortuga Kustomz]

i saw your post on FB, love this detail man

[mr68gts]

 Been ever so slowly plugging away on the rear end section of this thing. Still need to make the wishbone for it and machine the nuts for thw heims. Most of the penske shock parts are done now.

Also made the u joint bearing caps.

Next major hurdle is going to be either trying to photo etch the 4 link brackets in stainless or having my co worker cut them on his Lazer cutter.

Thank you sir! To see it at this point mocked up has got me motivated!

I can't believe it's shear size though! It's SO big....?
