It looks like we all are busy with life. There hasn't been any updates lately...I've only done a little building lately. Nothing that is picture worthy though.Cheers,
Smokey

I took a little time and cast some front marker lights .. I'll drill and locate them before painting the body... still trying to decide on a unique power plant for this little jewel... pictures later !!

I haven't done much either but it's still on my bench where I can stare at it every day . I've settled on sort of a wild go-kart with a 650cc motorcycle engine !    |

That's was one of my options early on .. then I went hunting for a larger scale Briggs & Stratton I had but couldn't find it ... with the rear differential I'm limited .. but I'll find something suitable... !! |

I looked too but all I had was the 1/8th Briggs in the Popper Chopper , way too big ! Then I was thinking about building my own when I found these old cycle parts . Not really sure how the will work out but it's a start !  |

Having committed to rear wheel drive I needed a power plant that would "fit" in the tiny space !! Corvair Power to the rescue!

Lotsa fun going on here. Kinda sorry timing for this was beyond me. Chuck - Now that you've done all the hard work, cast us up a couple of modified bodies and chassis |
