Looking cool Daddy-O~!

[goosenapper]

Ooooooo! I like what you did with that front axle! Way to get the rake that you need. :handgestures-thumbup:

[dreinecke]

Great looking car so far!!! Really jealous of the brass work too!

[HomeRacingWorld]

Tire choice is very good. The pie crust has me hungry.

I love it Dave. How are you fixing the front wheels?

[Ember]

I can't help but see the classic black with yellow, orange and red flames.

[Ember]

OK. How about an all over fade? From black to white or from yellow to red.

or a pearlised rich orange.

[HomeRacingWorld]

This is how you get things done :)

WOW!
Love the stepped frame and dropped axle!
If you can get enough gear on that (maybe an 8 tooth pinion with a 39 tooth spur) - it might be a lot of fun out of the hole, without having insane speed...
:auto-layrubber:
Color me jealous of your build either way - Thanks for sharing!!!
:D

Wow thats awesome. That dropped front axle is superb! Now this wheel. Ive often thought about doing something like that to remove the hub on the wheel. I dontunderstand how the wheel stays on the axle though & the wheel is able to spin on the axle? However you did it you are a master craftsman!

[MoparGreg]

No its me Dave. Im challenged sometimes :) Man this is a mind bender. In lamens terms.

* Brass tubing is soldered to axle
* You soldered the brass tubing to the end off the axle with a ball of solder at the end. - This prevents the wheel falling outwards & off the car
* So how does the wheel not fall inwards along the axle - towrads the centre of the car????????????

[DAVE]

On mine I just used the solder on retainers the retro racing guys use. Mike Swiss at Chicagoland Slot Raceway has them,
as does Jerry Kulich at JK Products. You can remove the set screws from the wheels and use the hole for oiling.
