Magic Photos Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 To keep my sanity doing customer cars, I have decided to start a personal project. I have started a 1/16th scale Newstalgia dragster. Here is the start and I will add more as work on it. This is a jig I made to do a customer car awhile back and got it out of the cobwebs. I am doing this chassis using 3/32 tubing, I have the first side started and will get the other side done soon. Then I will start putting the 2 sides together. Here is a start. Mike
vintagedragfan Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 that is a great idea using the jig Mike, frame rails look great, ready to see more of this one!
Mooneyzs Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Mike you are off to a great start and its looking great so far. I am glad to see you get to enjoy doing one for yourself. i really like the jig you have made. keep up the killer work and i look forward to more on this project..
Magic Photos Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 Got a little more work on the dragster today. Got the other side done and started putting it together. Got a mocked up fuel tank and a dummy motor set in for alignment .
Magic Photos Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 Thanks guys. Charlie I will be using Pro Tech hardware on this build. Bill the jig has made building the dragster chassis alot easier. Chris thanks buddy just need to do a little for myself, 18 cars in 2 years for customers and just need a break.
Mooneyzs Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Mike i am excited for to to be building one for yourself. You deserve it and I will be following along on this build. its gonna be killer!
Romell R Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 That's outstanding Mike I cant wait to see you accomplish more. Keep up the good work
GoatGuy Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Looks great. Will this be a replica of a real car?
Magic Photos Posted October 26, 2012 Author Posted October 26, 2012 Got some more work done on the car. Cross bars are in and front axle, plus started doing the seat and rear end.
vintagedragfan Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 very nice craftsmanship Mike, this is going to be awesome!
Mooneyzs Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Mike... you are making some great progress on this one bud. That chassis looks great and nice job on the seat. Keep up the great work!
