Nice job Ian, the aluminum skirts are superb, in addition, the thickness of the material is a plus! 👍

Thank you Francis, I, like you try to use the correct material where ever possible as nothing looks like metal except metal when it's not painted

LOL  Sorry Tim, not really showing off, once the jig was made getting the second chassis to this point only took about 1 3/4 hours.  There is still a lot to do on both!

Back from a short holiday, did   make some progress yesterday, on to the chassis and front and rear suspensions.

Finally on it's wheels

First time the body and chassis are connected by the correct mounts, and the wheelie bar has been fabricated

 

[Ian McLaren]

The chassis is progressing as are the related details, puke tank and lines, steering gear and instrument panel

[Ian McLaren]

Worked on the chassis for a couple of days on clean up and adjustments, finally I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, primer is on

 

[Ian McLaren]

The chassis is now Tamiya Dark Metal with two clear coats and is now ready to start assembly. A long time coming.

Really top flight stuff here. Nice stable of large scale nitro too.
