Scratchbuilding... I don't know...

[Brizio]

I build this Jeep chassis a year ago, for a seminar during a model show. The idea was to use it for a model, after, you know, I found other project, and I abandoned it. A few days ago, I was cleaning the room (or trying ) and I found it. It is in not pretty good shape, and has some damage. I try to fix it, but in one place was broken.

I start to build a new one, different, not with the Jeep chassis look this time, but a regular old chassis. It remind me the Alfa Romeo chassis from the 30's... I don't know why...

In this picture the top rail is done (4 parts attached) the bottom one not (1 part).

And here the chassis is almost done.

I like the shape of the new chassis, but I still don't know what I will build on it, and this is the fun part.

I use a router to drill all the holes, and before I stack all the 4 side of the chassis together for make the same hole on all 4.

This morning I woke up early, and put a front and rear axle on it. The front axle is from a Dodge A100, the rear the gear box I don't remember, the axle is from a piece of sprue. The leaf spring were also scratch built.

I put the back wheels and tires only for see how it look.
