Jaak Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Inspired by the Champion of Chamblee Jaildoor but downsized to 1/32, making this for my friend Allan Wakefield. Artin 1/43 rear wheels Dremelled untill it fit on the custom Kai wheels Sleeved the wheels to fit on a 3/32 Axle (Slot It axle) The finished result Modified the Sam Stephen Weldon custom Cobra style guide tongue to 1/32 size, This is a mock up the front axle tube has been shortened a bit after this picture. Drilled out the Al Penrose (BWA) bracket to fit a tube to match the Champion of Chamblee style. The photo's do not do this body any justice. The wonderful paintwork is done by Lupo Lupazzi. The 1/32 Mini Dream body was made by Lucio Cocchi Edited December 10, 2014 by Jaak Quote THINGIEPHILE REBEL EXTRAORDINAIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munter Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Are you going to have any moving pieces in the chassis? Body is something and so is the body!!!! 1 Quote John Warren Slotcars are my preferred reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaak Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hey John, The only moving piece this one will have is the Guide tongue. Allan requested me to make two similar chassis one in 1/32 and one in 1/24 which I will show/build later. He wanted them to be similar/inspired by the Champion of Chamblee jaildoor and that chassis only has a moving guide tongue. 1 Quote THINGIEPHILE REBEL EXTRAORDINAIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosco01 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Wow, Jaak - you are surely a talented perfectionist. The intricate work you have mastered in this build is beyond anything I have seen before. It is probably with some regret that this chassis will have anything but a clear body - but also, the body shown won't compromise your build for impression. lovely work, master of class frats, Rosco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaak Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Thank you all for the compliments. The chassis weighs 74 grams all in and the body 5,9 grams Edited December 18, 2014 by Jaak Quote THINGIEPHILE REBEL EXTRAORDINAIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
