Started to make up the chassis very early this morning and took about an hour, mostly time spent making a chassis solder jig.. Still a ton more fabrication of cross members, chassis stiffeners, squaring the front trans mount and suspension mounts. The front will be torsion bar and rear will be a solid live axle. Power will be a modified Corvair twin turbo and Corvair transaxle. Hosted on FotkiHosted on FotkiHosted on FotkiHosted on Fotki

Thank you! I have been doing brass on model ships and armor and finally got nerve to try this. It has been both fun and actually rewarding to see it come together! I've all ready got the next project in my head. . .Roths Yellow Fang Fueler. Paul

A question if I may, wouldn't the rear tires from a tractor-puller truck, like "The Orange Blossom Special", have worked for the sand rail, or are they different in size and paddles?
