I may be asking for a lil advise when I start on my chassis if you would be kind enough to give me some pointers!! thanks my friend, means alot! I appreciate that Zac, thanks for checkin in on it!

72 Charger Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Hay bill im in need of a fix er i meen we need to see more pics lol
timc Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 This is just simply the most awesome-est thing that I have ever had the pleasure of viewing.I have done some free-hand mill work myself but it was with an Industrial size mill. So I know to do it in this scale is a great feat. I wonder if the mini mills from micro-mark could or would give the same results? I could sourse the aluminum stock from the scrap we throw out at work.We will find out come income tax time. BILL YOU RULE!!!! Can't wait to see what you do with the chassis.bigtim
