A bit more progress.....
The body was opened up, and test fitted to the new chassis.
I already had the entire rear suspension done as one unit, so I centered it up in the chassis, and tacked it into place. Then I proceeded to add the two lower 4 link bars with a set of 1504 rod ends and tubing from RB Motion. These were mounted to the chassis brackets with some Scale Hardware brass bolt pins. Once the two lower links were on, I made up the top two links and installed those the same way.
I was so stoked with how the rear suspension went in, I decided to push my luck and give the front suspension a shot. Since I had totally re-made the front of the chassis, I was on my own for the lower control arms and lower strut mounts. Using the kit frame as a guide, I made up four new lower arms with more 1504 RB Motion rod ends and tubing. I then drilled out a piece of aluminum tuning to serve as a lower strut mount/control arm mount. Once theses were all lined up, I pinned them to the chassis with more Scale Hardware brass bolts and a few RB bolts. Next the kit rack had it's tie rods cut off. I brush painted the silver and black, and mounted the rack into the chassis. More RB rods were used for the rack eyelets, and I made up a set of tie rods using some 1503 RB rod ends and tubing. These were then mounted to a set of Sprint Car PE steering blocks using more Scale Hardware bolts.
