So I got alot of the rear suspension tubes knocked out tonight... still lots left to do, but it's starting to look like an AC frame at last! I milled pockets in the main tubes to catch the front uprights, milled slight holes in the rear crossmember for the rear uprights and milled slots in the tubes to catch the gusset plate. All of that made lining everything up a lot simpler and stronger. Still plenty of brackets to add, but it's getting closer to being done... enjoy!







I'll post another update over the weekend... maybe I can get the rear suspension brackets done... we'll see. Thanks for watching!

Well, my goal was to get the chassis completed this weekend and I'm 8 brackets and 8-10 tabs shy of being there. It's really starting to look the part, now. Some of the stuff I had to fab and solder was a real treat... the tension arm mounts and the upper differential mounting brackets were a real pain, but worth the aggravation! I should be able to get the rest of the stuff fabbed and on the frame by tomorrow night, so I'll post another set of pics then. I have quite a few hours of solder joint clean up to do, once the chassis is complete, then it's onto the birdcage... enjoy!









Thanks for watching!!!

Lol! I have a 427 twin carb Revell engine on a stand that I'd love to donate as well, except it's 1/6th scale... oh well, guess I'll have to make one, right? Lol!
Thanks for the offer and for watching...
