Official V.N.F.R. build thread. Competitors arriving!

[Retro Racer 44]

So if all goes according to plan I am back into this thing. I have a 1960 #43 Carrera Plymouth Fury en route and got out the honeycomb board and brass tonight. A club-mate gave me the measurements of his car, and I will temporarily steal the motor out of another of my cars. I will be using a Professor Motor cast rear bracket with 1/16" piano wire on the back end and 3/4 x 1/16 brass on the front. I'll post some pics when I have enough to show.

Cheers,

Keith

Due to someone giving up there spot Dave asked if I wanted to fill and I said heck ya. This will officially be my first build. I am starting from nothing. I need to get everything for this build. I'm even going to try a brass chassis here too. If that doesn't work I'll just use a artin stocker chassis as a back up plan. So once I get all my parts ordered and shipped I'll post up some pictures of my build so you all can be entertained by a true noob trying to build his first car. And FYI I have very thick skin so joke away. Thanks all happy to be a part of this!

I don't know for sure of course, but the last time I heard that much sandbagging from one guy, it was Capt. Wheezewhistle of the Coast Guard! Look out for this guy. He's up to something...

[Gameover]

No sand bagging here. Everything I own is rtr cars. :)

Lol.

I really have no idea what will show up at the first host's. My issue is not wanting to strip a body of what is already a good paint job lol but also want something no one else is going to be using. Then it's the fact I want to scratch build a chassis. This is a entirely new realm for me but I like it. Can't wait to get started.

[TuscoTodd]

Welcome to the fun sir! :D

[cagee13]

Yep thats what makes it so exciting. Once you scratchbuild that's all you'll start thinking about doing.

Cagee is right. One day you will be waiting at a stoplight and catch yourself studying the fender clearance on a car across the street.
