WHIPLASH

[DNA RACING]

i am working on my 2012 MOD car, i got a block of prototyping material from work, not sure what it is, but is is very hard and machines great. i am cutting 2 channels in it 1/4" wide and deep to insert pine to hold to axles. i love the way it glows when polished. i cut and squared up a slab today after work and got the weight pockets milled in and channels cut for the pine axle holders. the front wheels are very far back compaired to most mods, but i think i can make it work.
i will update as the build progresses.

Whiplash is a cool name for a car. Wish I had thought of it first.

Is that material heavy?Looks cool!

 

[DNA RACING]

its not really heavy, but i will have to shave a bit off the front to make things right.

Nice!

Looks like you might could plane the whole thing down about an 1/8". If after completion of the body you find it is too heavy you could always mill out the middle and fill the void by gluing in some balsa. I believe that will make a great looking car. How stiff is that stuff?

Looks realy cool!!! I like the use of new materials.

thanks guys, the stuff is very stiff!
the front end will be a narrow old F1 style.
i will be making it thinner, it will be 3/8" when done.

Sounds good I can't wait to see it finished.

That looks like REN modeling plastic that we use where I work. We use it for master models for carbon and fiberglass tooling. I have machined a few models out of it before. It looks really nice when it's polished out. You'll have a nice looking car.
