Starting the tubes for the jack bolts. These will get finished later once I get the body in place
Engine almost completed. Wired distributor (this was an aluminum piece with a resin cap. Looking back on it, I would go with something less...Expensive... as the aluminum base is not noticeable at all)
Remote mount oil filter and housing, complete with wix decal
Engine sitting in its home. I believe this is where I mounted it, for what I thought was the final time. It had to come out to make some adjustments
Shots of the front suspension. This has been a learning experience, lots of stuff I will do differently on the next one. The engine sits too low to allow for the braces for the A-Arms as well as for the steering to be set up properly. So, I made it up. This is 100% inaccurate and would not function, I just hope I don't get hit too hard at the judges table. The "steering links" are a combination of aluminum tube and Dirt Modeler PE Rod ends. The sway bar links are pieces from the Dirt Modeller sprint car linkage kit.
The front end was taken apart this morning. Some of the details I was not happy with. The sway bar end links will be redone and I decided to modify the kit A-Arm/spindles. The way they came from Revell, I was not able to add coil springs. At first, I was ok with that. Then, I decided it had to come apart. So I devised a plan to fix it. The A-Arms came off, and I cut down the thickness of the molded in spindles to accommodate coil springs.
