Fun times...The General Builds a Sedan

[HomeRacingWorld]

Sunday or maybe rename it "SedanDay" ?

I started on another project and General MyWay decided it would make her happy if she could build one too. Well, many know I live a good life by following the golden rule "If mama ain't happy...then NOBODY's happy!" So she got started.



She started with a ShotgunDave body of course. Had some sanding to do as most do and she dove right in.







When that was done she gave it a coat of primer. When the primer was dry she gave it her first coat of the color she wanted.
Then it was on to the chassis.



This is her FIRST brass chassis in 1/32. She measured mine and started to cut brass. Then I helped here a little with setting it up in the new honeycomb jig, and she heated things up :whistle:



Just like mine, only better. MUCH better.



Hers & His chassis in an afternoon.





I think it looks pretty good for the first coat.



Lots of work yet to do, but what a great start.

This was a lot of fun building slot car together. Thanks General for a great day.

Sure like that color! I bet it will be a runner too, with that nice straight chassis!
I envy you both on your shared hobby, My wife just looks at me and smiles when I talk slots, and we all know what that means!

Now that is a great way to spend a day with the wife! Nice work!

[GENERAL MY WAY]

I enjoyed it as well. I love being creative and making things, I just always left the slot car building to him, then I would race em.

I look forward to puttin some of ya to shame on the track. And yes I can talk the trash with the best

Great way to spend a Sedanday afternoon!

Really nice to see you two playing well together. I notice her paint looks a little more complete though...

[Retro Racer 44]

Good to see you two putting the honeycomb board to use. Works well doesn't it?
Also good to see two more potential cars for the P-BOP in the making.

Keep up the good work, eh?

Madam, whats all that white powder around your nose and on your hands. Honest officer, its just resin. I was just grinding my slot car body....... :D Right......madam, can you please come with me down to the station. But but but......

On a more serious note, nice builds. Just wondering though. The brass rails, are they stong enough to take big hits? Was wondering why not use piano wire??

[HomeRacingWorld]

Yes, they hold up just fine. Not made the switch to wire yet, but so far none of them have issues.

The again we run milder motors and never over 12V. I did just stock up on some wire, so might be trying different designs and such soon.
