comp1839 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 the 3/32" is correct for some of the tubes mike. just not all. you may want to use some .100" with your 1/16". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostreet Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Mike, I think i used .100" for most of the main chassis, the .080" and .060" for the other stuff. Not sure if it will help you, but there is alot of good info in my 57 promod build thread from people helping me. just will take some time to page through it. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48179&hl=%2B57+%2Bpromod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsModeling Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I don't believe how fast you whipped that out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Mike.... The chassis looks killer!! I also have to say I think it looks much better that you went back and resized the tubing. Looking forward to seeing more progress on this bad boy. Keep up the great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Photos Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks Ted it was easier just getting the measurements off the old chassis and just building from there. About 5 hours in this one. Thanks Chris we will keep each other building. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hey Mike, Sorry I didn't get a chance to comment on your build early-on. I must say that your revised chassis with the small OD tubing definitely looks more to scale. I'll definitely keep my eye on this build...

comp1839 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 mike, what a difference. now, if your up to one more piece of advice. if you're going to make this car sit low. you're going to want to make that drive shaft hoop muucch taller. for the rear of the car to sit low the pinion will be sitting higher in the chassis. which will put your driveshaft right where the top of your driveshaft hoop is. make the hoop go all the way to the main bar above your present hoop bar. great job!!!

Magic Photos Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Well guys sorry no update as of yet, have to get my slot cars ready for Friday night.

stump Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hey Mike, so pleased to see you giving this a go mate, should be a kool one to follow. The chassis (part II) looks excellent too man, and with the drive shaft loop extended up a tad will look even better. Waiting for the 25th.

gasser59 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Sorry I'm just jumping in on this one Mike. The second go 'round on the chassis looks much better. This will be fun, as well as educational, to watch develop. Kudos to you. Have fun this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
