'56 Gasser-ready to stage

[FC47]

The body was going to be a rounder, but now it's a launch vehicle.
Soldering skills coming back, used to Tig and silver brazing.
Going to be ready for the Sick Puppy event on Feb 23rd.
1/24 Pirahna-motored, drop-arm, urethane shod, North East Slot Cars, Gasser class.
Ceramic board, gained some insight building, will try a Showdown build next.
Dickie and the SCC guys :text-thankyouyellow: on this one!
Fun to build and more fun to be had :banana-dance:

The Boss is gonna tag on the pics for me...
Thanks Harry!

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................

Loving the leaf springs :music-rockout:

Can't wait to see it in person, see it go down the track and send it back to the trailer....uh....I mean....um....well....you see..... :auto-driving: 8-)

You're doing some serious good work there. It's going to be a hit on the 23rd.. :auto-checkeredflag:

[FC47]

Thanks, it sits up like the old 'Haulin Ass' gasser,...if the only thing it hits is the trailer then it's a good day racin'.
1/8 sq pinched centerline with end nippers then squashed with diff diameter rounds. Sawed near the shackle ends then collapsed the 'leaves'. There are prettier joints you don't see but paint hides a multitude of sins.
If it sheds and the tires go into orbit,
I'll blame it on gluing between periods while I watch the Bruins.
Working on a little artwork then find someone to print waterslides.

Gotta go wings are ready.

Oh MAN! That is looking WICKED!!!!

Thanks Todd, gonna keep it goin.
Your Hurst build is inspiration.
If this runs well I may try and lighten it more,
The Nomad will be as light as I can go...

[TuscoTodd]

Paul - again - I think that is going to make for a killer looking ride when you are done with it and love the bent frame rail and leaf spring work! Definitely will be following this one! :D

[FC47]

Thanks, I will try!
Washed the car,..60 out there-primer today- warmer tomorrow- metalflake.

65 in the sunny yard, even slathered the Formula ford with more primer.
Weather goes back in trough tomorrow, groundhog stew is in order!
