     Cool subject, good scratchmanship ! I didn't realize that this thread was as old as it is. Would like to see this one finished.

This being a phantom AND one that was supposedly dragged out from hiding and rebuilt by a hot rodder, I could have used just about any rear end in this thing that I wanted. But I figure, I've scratchbuilt the frame and springs, and I'll be scratchbuilding pretty much the whole front end...I may as well keep in theme and scratchbuild the rear end, too.

 

I love 1/8" thick sheet stock. It's a bear on the Dremel, but it's such a good blank canvas.

 

 

 

Leaving a "handle" on it to make it easy to work with.

 

 

More 1/8" stock, turned down to a "button" (the stalk was just there to mount it in the Dremel).

 

 

 

Mounted that to a piece of thin sheet and shaped it down to form a lip.

 

 

 

Scraping the tubes into shape.

 

 

I'll have the housing all finished up yet here in a bit, and hopefully be able to whittle out a 3rd member tonight.

this is some fine big of scratch building !
