Looks scary, wouldn't get my *** in it with that pretzel thin frame.

 

um... you did this to THAT car?


yup. nice work

i think i need to find a new hobby

 

Art...

 

Wow! Beautiful work man.

Doc.

 

Incredible work Skoty, looks killer!

 

Very nice car. You did a great job man.

 

more more more plz......

 

Definately looks nice from an artistic perspective, but as Doc said.. that frame looks scary. Definately would not p*** over here.

Here is some CONSTRUCTIVE critisism. As above, i too believe it does look very nice but some things are a worry. Frame only, the Body work looks very well done.

One thing to watch out for, and is i guess a problem to prospective newcomers looking for pictoral advice as such.. that finishing the welds like that is definately a bad thing. When you grind each fillet weld like that, you are basically removing the outter reinforcement of the weld and greatly reduces the strength of the weld.

Another point, comes back to the weld finishing but with that Suicide Perch.. if you've finished the welds like that, i wouldn't be surprised if someone could knock those off with a sledge hammer rather easily. Fair enough if their welded underneath (Which we'd all hope..) but the welds should definately have been left unground.

Looking at a few of your unground welds, i wouldn't see why you would have ground them as they look good as it is.

 

neat car.very nice work......................dave

 

I like it... do you have more photos of the cage prior to interior tin? Gary

 

I like the Comp Coupe style. The car looks like it is too low to be able to drive it?

 

I agree, and the ground welds are a BIG mistake.

Eh... I not a fan of cartoon cars anyway.
