Kanedge Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Found that photo I was talking about, maybe give you some ideas? Chassis looking good so far.
MRJ Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 Not much to update, did get the body cut. The last few days has pretty much sucked been having issues with the solder station and it finally died, so I made the decision to do the chassis in plastic. So I have restarted the chassis and hope to get a bunch done today and tomorrow.
Mooneyzs Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Mike... I am loving this build man. You are off to a heck of a start. The chassis is taking great shape and I really love your chassis building Jig. That is too cool. I need to think up of a jog for myself. I sure look forward to more progress on this build as I will be following along for sure.
MRJ Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks Chris, yes the jig is my savor. Ok started the new plastic chassis, it's not looking to bad. The Willys has such a weird shape in side trying to get the chassis to fit well but is a challenge. Also got some goodies ordered from RB Motion and Scale Hardware. ~Mike
Dragracer Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 The new chassis is looking good Mike, waiting to see how she looks when you are done.
MRJ Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 Thanks Richard, working overtime this week not a whole lot of time to do much. Thanks Jeffrey, I did add a 6" lazy Susan bearing on it yesterday so the table would swivel 360 degree and now I am able to use all sides.
AzTom Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Looks great Mike. Even though I'm a Gasser guy, I'm going to follow this one for sure. AzTom
stump Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Looking good Mike. And I'm another who likes your kool workbench, that's pretty awesome. Good that you were able to add the lazy Susan, should make things easier mate.
MRJ Posted May 5, 2012 Author Posted May 5, 2012 Tom- Thanks, I am a Gasser fan myself. Greg - Thanks it is working out well I have a few items to have machined, I hope to have those done in a few weeks. Bill - Thanks, it has been along time away from the bench but I am enjoying myself. I hope to have some updates this weekend, work has been taking most of my free time. But I did receive my parts from RB Motion & Scale Hardware today great and fast service from them both. - Mike
MRJ Posted May 6, 2012 Author Posted May 6, 2012 Just a small update tonight on the chassis I started on the back-half. Well I am not the greatest chassis builder, but I am having a blast. ~Mike
krazyglu Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Looks awesome Mike and its all about having fun man, just a bonus when you can share pictures and feed of everyone's comments.
tyrone Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Looks great to me Mike... I have to agree with you... It's really fun building the chassis...
eviltwincustoms Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Mike, looking good by chance do you have the rear end and your 4 link bracket set to mock up that rear part of the chassis? Usually you want the back part to be somewhere in the neighborhood of the same width if not a little narrower. Just saying because it looks like you may be a bit on the wide side of the house. If you have already test fit the rear end and where the shocks are to mount and are good then I say "power forward!" Keep'em Updates coming!
MRJ Posted May 6, 2012 Author Posted May 6, 2012 Thanks Steven, Casey, Tyrone & Kane guys I do appreciate it. Thanks Bart, yes I did check the width of the 4 link setup and rear end the width is the same and I do appreciate you asking me about that as I question myself this morning about it and re-checked it. ~Mike
