Projects Not another model A build up!

Very nice work

 

Thanks bobo1!

 

Fabulous attention to detail, It would be a shame to cover any of it with bodywork.
Cheers, Ron.

 

Super nice. Keep the progress pix coming...

 

Thanks guys!

 

Wow great work!

 

Trying to finish off the front end over the weekend. I'll need to get a new spring made up as you can see from the pics.

 

I also finished off the ladder bars. Next, fabricating the gearbox adapter and fabricating mounts that incorporate the gearbox and ladder bars. I need to have the bellhousing and the adapter milled to take the input locator which I'll hopefully get done this week.

 

Mocking it up keeps the motivation high

 

looking good man!

 

Thanks guys!

 

Great fab work on the frame. You should have it chromed, make all those rivets pop.

 

Ross,
Top-Shelf-creativity !
So good to see at pair of ladder bars built strong.
Well done mate.
Glenn

 

Thanks Glenn! Appreciate it mate.

 

Hi Ross,
What'd you use to cut holes for your exhaust to exit through your crossmember? It's nice and clean. Vic

 

This build sets the bar really high as far as fabrication skills go, too cool for words. Just wondering though, I couldn't help but notice you got rid of those nifty spring hangers you made up for the radius rods earlier in the thread. Is there a reason for switching to the original style pivots?

 

Thank you and sorry for the late reply. I decided I didn't want too much suicide on the front end so I went with securing the perches through the front bone join, for strength.

 

Hey Vic,

It's been a long time. Your model gasser is sitting proudly in my living room. Apologies for the later response here mate. A lot has happened in the past 6 months. Are you well?

 

Hey guys. It's been a LONG TIME.

Well I'm back on it and there's been some progress and some changes along the way. I've been inspired by the reoccurrence of track styling and given the body is small - a Willy's, (well the cowl anyway) I felt it'll lent itself to a T track race style.

The changes made since my last post:

- Removed the A rear crossmember and welded in a T
- Track nose (in progress)
- Chassis almost finished

Cheers,
Ross.

The proportions are spot on! Your gonna nail this one.

 

Badass! Maybe could use a little longer front spring?
Gotta bring it up to the salt flats!!!
Nice work.

 

Thanks mate!

Yes definitely. This is just for mockup but I need to source another. I would love nothing more than to lay it on the salt. I was over from Australian in 2014 for Speedweek but rained out as you know.

This thing looks rad mate! Good work

 

Thanks man!

 

I spent the day finishing off the side steer today. Here's some pics of the ALMOST complete chassis

 

Looks good man!
