Re: Shelby Cobra Australian version.
I usually wait for warm weather to work on projects and in between yard work. But this summer I plan on finishing the cobra along with my Daytona.

Next on the bench is the Shelby Cobra from Australia which I recently had for sale on ebay until they craped all over it with their new policy.

Re: '55 Chevrolet Bel Air on plate chassis
The upper frame is going to look nice when cleaned up. But I would have used a jig saw, I use the blade runner, my wife gave it as a gift more than 15 years ago, it spits out tiny chunks of hot little bits but does the job.

Re: Daytona chassis
No problem, the choice for me was to do as little as possible without molesting the chassis with just a few drilled and tap holes. If you wanted to go the full nine yards you could cut and widen the front suspension area. Just my 2 cents. Please post your project when you start.

Re: Daytona chassis
Okay here's what I think. As far as the wheel base goes this will work, as far as the rest, you'll need to extend the side rails to the body and I would do it without cutting or welding, just add sleeves with aluminum V-rails or L-rails depending how you see this. The roll cage to support the hood a...

Re: Daytona chassis
You won't be able to buy one as far as I know, your options are fabricating. But you might be in luck with an alternate chassis. I'm in the process of putting together a Cobra (see photo) I think the cobra chassis might work but I wont know till I try it on my Daytona body. I will keep you informed ...

Re: 1/4 scale Lotus 49 Jim Clark version
Liq75, as far as making my wheels (which I can't) there is really not much out there to choose from, I did go to a 3" x 6" tire on the rears which had a 4" X 6.25". I'm in the process of ordering rear tire caps from BRP that will match the front thread pattern. What do you suggest?

Re: 1/4 scale Lotus 49 Jim Clark version
Hey folks, happy holidays. Going to take the flywheel to a machine shop to cut a V-shape groove into it, this will allow me to start the engine with a belt and handheld electric starter, same method as my Gilmer. Hopfully I'll have this running one day or at least start it.
