[Ognib]

Very nice!

[cobraman]

Wow ! Fantastic workmanship.

[comp1839]

i'm sure a lot of you don't get to see pro mod stuff much so, here's the actual setup i'm attempting to re-create.

rear housing and rear shocks.

4link system. this is a bickel design. just about every major chassis shop out there has there own version by now. this is standard issue on every top pro mod and pro stock team out there.

[blackbeard]

love those shots of the a pro mod

[Racerchad2]

Absolutley amazing. If there was a way to purchase one I would be broke and in heaven. You sir are very crafted!

[Pro Wrench]

You must have an in with someone for them to allow you to take pictures of their suspension setup. That's usually as top secret as cam specs for most guys.

[GoatGuy]

Thanks for the reference pics Dave. Valuable info.

[TedsModeling]

Dave - You're right that maybe only a few of the entire forum have access to the actual cars, especially this close. At the risk of sounding greedy, how about some front suspension shots? Thanks for keeping us informed so that we can bring that realism to the scale world.

[comp1839]

so, i got around to making some rear shock mounts and some more chassis assembly.

rear shock mounts.

chassis stuff.

[comp1839]

some more chassis / body fit.

[Dinky]

Very impressive!

Looking forward to the end result.

How many hours did you already spend on this one so far?

This car is probably the best scaled pro mod ever.

Good work methods, I will make a chassis jig inspired by your's for my 1:16 inter kb5 chassis.

Thanks a lot to share your knowledge.
