Albert Powers Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 What do guys use for chassis on scratch builds. I'm doing a replica of our 1963 Corvette promod.
eviltwincustoms Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Welcome to the forum Albert! First off we really should know what scale you are working with before providing you diameter sizes for tubing because we could be giving you the wrong size. Will you be working in 1/24 or 1/25, or the bigger scale of 1/16 or larger? If it is the smaller scale use what Robert provided to you. Now if you are jumping into the 1/16 scale you will need to use .100, .080 and .060. I have to ask, out of curiosity you have the location of MO. is this by chance Missouri? If so are you anywhere around the Branson or Springfield area? I am actually building a 1/16 scale 63 pro mod vette body from scratch and scaling it off of pictures of Jason Skrugg's car. I could really use some more reference pictures as I move around to some of the details and Chassis work. Thanks,
Albert Powers Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks guys !!!!! I'm working in 1/25. I'm from the Springfield area and we race at Ozark Raceway Park in Rogersville. Ill see what I can do to help out with more pics from ya. How do you post pics on here lol
eviltwincustoms Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Interesting, looks like something happened Roberts post is deleted now... The best way to post pictures is through photobucket or something similar. You can upload pics into the forum but I think their is a limit. If you have a photobucket account I can look at the pics that way as well. Curious, did you build your chassis for your vette?

Romell R Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Hey albert if you copy the direct link for your pictures in photobucket , you can then add it to your post by clicking on the "Image" icon on the menu bar. Then you will see a box open on your screen just paste the address in the URL window and click ok then the picture will show up in your post. Welcome aboard and have fun posting!!
Romell R Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 what is the best way to bend plastic tubing without distorting? By just bending it slowly, although I have seen guys who heat it up and then bend but that take some practice.
