filthyish Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I dont know exactly where this is going.... I just wanted to scratch build a chassis and possibly a body for it. One thing is for sure it will be chev powered. Feel free to post comments and pics, I need ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Well Alex, the chassis is looking very good, so keep up the good work. The body will be the really interesting bit. I've tried making bodies but getting the two sides to match and getting everything square is the deal breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnwildpunk Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Frame looks good. You said feel free to comment. I see the exhaust pipes going to the turbos but I don't see the exhaust pipes leaving the turbos I don't know if your just not finished with that part yet or I can't see the dumps in the pic? Anyway good job so far keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think you need to use a different set of headers. For one that looks like a small block, and the spacing on the headers says big block. Two, the exhaust that goes outboard of the frame and then back in for the turbos serves no purpose. Perhaps a Corvette style header that drops straight down, would work out better. I have a set if you need. As for what body, usually chassis are built after you have a body picked out. However, due to the length of this, I'd go with something longish, like the Revell '39 Chevy Wagonrod, sans fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
