Started the bodywork so that I have a reference point for determining the length of the foot pedals, and also for laying out/making the hand brake lever system, and the neutral gear lockout lever arm setup:

Did I miss something? This is a very interesting build, but I feel I've joined it in the middle. Is there some background on this build? A previous thread perhaps? I really want to know and see more!

I'm just glad to see someone else building in geological time frame as I do! And, GLAD to see this back on the table, Art! :lol:

Is this the GrandtLine part you're using for the chain drive (O scale)?

If so, do you have the dimensions on it (horizontal outside diameter would be all I need)? I need to rig up a chain apparatus for the brake system on my 1/16 Bugatti 59.

Skip,

For starters, Grandt Line markets this chain drive setup, but they don't manufacture it apparently. If you go to Grandt's website, you will see a variety of sprocket sizes, with dimensions given, as well as the roller chain itself (which is easily spliced or even shortened!).

Art Anderson... the god, patron saint, and all-round kewel kat of scale model scratchbuilding!

Not quite, but thanks! I still consider myself to be a "cut and fit" sort of guy.

That is really looking good Art! Done by GSL?

Jairus,

I'm gonna spend my quality model car show time this spring at NNL-East, which kinda precludes a stop out at GSL this year.
