Bump! :D
You don't gotta justify your build decisions to me man, I was just confused looking at it, 'cause I thought it looked like a 9" with a QC welded...
What am I looking at here with this rear end? I must have missed it earlier in the thread. Is it like a 9" or 8.8" or something like that with a...
I painted a modified chassis in early 2024 and that took a gallon and a quart, but that was Rustoleum which doesn't get thinned a lot, and I used...
Yeah, they got repainted, with a brush. :D There's no use being too awful precious about a racecar that you actually race, 'cause that bodywork...
FYI, I think they're having a drift car show on Oct 11th. If you don't mind doubling up it would have a lot more people there and all the...
It's pavement. They'd probably let you drive around the racing surface. I don't know if they'd be down for push laps or not, but I've seen them...
You should talk to the new promotor at Lebanon I-44 Speedway, he's pretty easy to get along with and they have other events there besides the...
Lot of work in that tail, but it looks to have turned out pretty well. My racecar bodywork has always been of the "lay it on the floor and walk...
I was just getting ready to post this. Let's you do a quick check on how your material is curing as well, without disturbing anything that matters.
Damned fine work, sir.
That's always how it goes. When something goes together smoothly and without issue, I am instantly suspicious and begin looking for things to...
OK, I still have the chassis, and since some things have changed, I'm going to clarify what is available and what it costs. I have removed and...
Just gotta go at it easy. Pick away a little at a time. Go about it like Afghans fight their wars: Don't do much at any one time, but never...
The body is now SOLD. The tube chassis and suspension are still for sale.
VERY nicely done, sir.
Very nicely done. Little notchers came out of the toolbox like, "This is my time to shine!" :D
I dig that striping around the button & lock cover. Very slick.
How are you doing the forming over the MDF buck? I know it's a stretching operation, I'm just curious if you're doing the forming with a hand...
Incredible. Domo Arigato, Mr. Zagato.
Beautiful work, sir. It's really a treat to watch a skilled man work.
If it's stupid, but it works, it's not stupid.
High speed nuns. You're alright, man. :D
Very cool little tub there. Even fits two skinny people. :D I'd have to put that thing on like a pair of pants. EDIT: Is that your grandma...
That IS old school. I was thinking a Bridgeport with a rotary table. lol Having VMC's around has spoiled me on stuff like that. Easy two op...
That's solid work. You cut those end caps on a manual machine or CNC? Damned fine result either way.
Very well struck, sir.
Mine were gone too, rotted clean away. I didn't even have to remove any fasteners to pull the body off the frame, it just came off when lifted....
