Try SCC Canada.site, I know Christian is currently at the Michigan 24 hrs , but thats where I got my wheels from. They show the 15x8 , it is $13.00 Cdn , but our dollar is worth about 80 cents US
He should have the tires too. He ships pretty quick, and I expect he will be back home late Monday or Tuesday.
SCC US may have the motors.
All the best

Just checked the Slot Car Corner US site, and they have the 15 X 8 Classic steel in Black, and also the motors in stock.

Hey guys, got started on mine.....







First time ever building a chassis in brass. It's been a lot of fun. Should finish the chassis up today.

Very cool looking start!
And that is your FIRST brass chassis? That is AWESOME!
:text-bravo:

[Noahracing]

Thanks guys :text-thankyouyellow: .....I have a couple other chassis started. Learning different, better ways, to go about it. Definitely fun for sure. Will post more photos as progress is made.

Thanks guys...much appreciated. Added the side bars...





I drilled through both frame rails in the front so that I could use one piece of brass instead of making 2 pieces. Was pretty easy....Coming right along :handgestures-thumbup:

One of the most intimidating tasks was mounting the guide tongue...(underside view)



I also decided to add a brace to it for no side to side movement....(top view)

Ready to exercise the credit card....I have everything I need for the build except tires and wheels and motor....and

So before I order a couple of questions: 1) Any CB Design 15 X10 wheels are OK as long as some appropriate inserts are used 2) What Paul Gage tires are recommended 3) What guide should be used, a commercial track guide or a home track wood guide? 4) wher do you find 1/32 v8 motors?

I have a Ford Tudor body from the bin I can use/

To answer your questions, Yes on the CB wheels, steelies or insert type. Most of us use the PG 22166FF for the rears, but that is by choice. All the tracks have deep grooves, so any guide will work. The key on building these cars, is to imitate the 1:! counterparts of the era. Lots of pics out there and on here of 60's and 70's mods.
