Looks like the Street Rod Class has some legs in 2012. I'm going to run my vet from last season.

How is everyone mounting the bodies to the chassis?

I saw Jewkes' (?) kit in the videos from way back, but did not get a close-up of what it was, nor did I find it anywhere else. The snap-in, snap-out aspect looks pretty ideal.

DNA, Lets see some pic's of your beast already!!!!

 

[DNA RACING]

i may post a pic tonight, i am laying down the last coat of blue tonight.

 

[DNA RACING]

ok, here it is, i still have to install the running gear, but the paint is done. the windows are all black.
it is a 2 tone gold/blue gold base with the blue blended in over the gold. not too bad for rattlecans. its name is.....SHOCK WAVE

[font="times new roman, times, serif"]Hey sweet job on the fade! Blue and gold does that have anything to do with cub scouts??

[/font]

 

[DNA RACING]

NO !!!
just thought gold would look better than silver, i needed a metal base for the x-metal blue.

Cool looking ride Brian! Great Job!

 

[Quicktimederby]

That looks great!! I just spent about 2 hr's on mine only to slow it down!!! Oh well, I'll have it ready for the next one.

 

[DNA RACING]

thanks guys, this is my first Street Rod, I hope i can get it to run a half decent time.

 

[Crash Enburn]

I'll ask this question again: How is everyone mounting the bodies to the chassis? I have several unbuilt models that I think would be simply great to build as actual cars, but I would like to keep the body unmolested (ie: no drilled holes through the sides).

TIA,

On my first one I used guide pins in the side of the chassis. That mounted to the body were I attached some wood slots for the pins. On my current one the chassis is the same size as the under side of the body, so I was able to to just put a couple screws in the side. I have seen many different ways of doing it I dont know if one is better thatn the other, tape, glue, velcro,ect. Just use what works best for you and the look you want.

 

[DNA RACING]

i am attaching with 2 small screws into the wood through the underbody of the car. i am not that far yet, but i will post pics in the next few days.

 

[Kinser Racing]

You can't do it without molesting the body to some degree.

in the past I would glue a small of square balsa at the FT & Back on top of chassis then use the velcro with a sticky side put 1 side on balsa & 1 on under side of body
