I thought I'd create a new thread since a lot of people were having a hard time keeping up with what is currently happening. A quick breifing on whats going on; 1/12 scale scratch built street rod, mostly out of styrene, 100% scratch built.
Got a lot of work done on the driver side lower control arm. Machined out of 9 seperate pieces and soldered together with about 13 hours of work at this point.
The shock mounts in the gap with a pin that goes through. The pin is a zero tolerance fit and is hidden once it is put in. It sticks in the hole well, but it also comes out with a nice tap. Note the beginning of the working ball joint half soldered to the bottom half. The inside still needs more solder, and finishing.
Next I will assemble the upper control arm, also machined out of brass. After spring break I will finish machining the passenger side control arms.
