Oh, forgot to mention.............................it all move![:D]

That is sooo nice!

Amazing work!

Maybe some more words: How did you bent, what glue, .... ??????????

I bend the aluminum with my fingers and needle nose pliers. Glue, I like to use gel super glue!

thanks for looking!

Sweet!! Awesome work indeed! Do you want to make one for me to?

How much would it cost for a setup like that for an amt 66/67 nova? lol

That looks killer man!!! Great work!

make your signature smaller or lose it.

sir, you have just achieved baller status.

where the hell does everybody gets those pins? i seached high and low for those and still cant find them what does the package look like and where can i get them?

thats a bad ass frame you should get a tubing bender kit at a hobby shop to eliminate the kinks

No way!!!
Look at that triangulation, that's unreal! Love the a-arms too.
It's a shame a huge box is covering that chassis...looks like it belongs under a hot rod:grinno:

Good stuff

Amazing work!

Thanks for the infos.

Looking at the body sitting on the frame, you should use clear sheet in some areas of the floor to show the frame

awesome!!

nothing more to say!

:)

off the cha-zang. really impressive work. Can i get a close up shot of how you glued the tubing together. maybe just of a join

Damn' nice work!!

Very impressive work :bigthumb:
I sure would liek to able to do somethig like that - why don't you make a tutorial on it?

THAT'S a very good idea!! Listen to the man!! :)

Wow nice work on that frame, that would be an awsome chassis for a hot rod.

Wonderfull Work

Thanks for all the comments guys. To answer a few questions........ I use GEL Super glue to hold the peices together. I cant see welding something this small. The tubing size is 1/16" I believe. I would put plexi glass inserts in the floors, but its not my build. The body belongs to someone else, Im just building a frame for it. Thanks for looking guys. I still have to make a few more crossmembers, radiator mounts and airbag mounts.

First of all, that chasis is insane!
Second,. . . Where did your friend buy this resin body?
I'd be really interested in getting my hands on one of those!
Great build so far. . .
:evillol:

custom you never cease to amaze me. was wondering where you been at. haven't seen any work from you lately.

anyhow, you have just motivated me to get back to building again since my move and i have a newer fujimi astro van that needs so love and you have just inspired me to try and build a chassis like this. will not be near as smooth as yours but i am gonna try.

awesome job.

No way!!!

The body will be displayed at shows OFF the frame...so it will be seen by all. :)
