What are the advantages / disadvantages of a long wheel based car?

By the way, you can easily do this with a pre-drilled, pre-weight pocket cut block from DD4H..... Before you cut your car profile, glue in the rear weights and at least the first row of weights in front of the rear axle, then cut out the center section of wood and then add in your weights between the rear axles. The glued in weights will keep your alignment solid.

Wow- that is awesome! A picture is worth a thousand words and then some

I see now that I need to leave a little more meat on my rear end sides so the cubes fit tight to maintain rigidity- among other small tweeks to make. Now to figure out what kind of glue to use, would CA glue suffice? Thanks for the pics!!!

Seriously newcomers, take note!

Once again thanks Scott for all you have given!

I use Gorrilla epoxy. Locktite epoxy is another forum favorite.

I put it wherever it runs the fastest.... it isn't always on the DFW, but more often it is...

As far as BOTTOMS go that is one nicely shaped one.

This is what happen when I made that same comment, not referring to PWD.
Scott, once again proving that this place is the only place that gives back to the community and its members. I need to buy you a drink.
ALL YOU NEW COMERS. Like Kinser said we got it so much easier than the old-timers. THANK YOU 5kids.

You have inspired a POEM
