Short Rod

[philbass]

Hello everyone,

Here I am again in a new scratch adventure!

I have chosen here to make this from scratch!
The challenge, no new kit users to mount the rod, up to scratch and all the rest of the box refills.

here is the first mock up:

A view of the height of the body (by the way, I love this view!)



The front of the chassis is not finished yet, but it should look to the Old Style Rod, with blade and two small shock absorbers



Slick tires on the rear and normal but wide on the front.



The rear will have 2 hallf baldes with two shocks absorbers



The front steering is full scratch made and working, it will receive the blades and 2 small lateral shock absorbers



The engine come from a 55 chevy street machine from Revell



A scratch on coming in this engine, water hoses that connect the engine to the radiator



The body comes from a lot that I found on ebay. it was ugly so i decided to made a new with styrene on the old one!





Let's go for your comments

Hello,
here is a little update with the work for yesterday



The firewalll came from the chevy 55, there is some more work to finish it





New tire less wide, i think it will be better



I try to put my wishbones but i don't like them like this, i'll do it again later
