I think you have to finish it, Lloyd. You will be surprised what you can do with that chassis. I am looking forward to see the finished product.

I think it has 2 possible chances Randy, to a proxy or into the bin/trash can!

I'll be pulling for the 1st choice. These wire chassis intrigue me no end. I would like to build 1 some day but that day is far in the future.

I have not done a chassis yet like yours or some that I saw posted in this forum made out of brass or copper wires. My scratch built chassis are mostly made of aluminum. I would like to see yours finished so I can learn from it. Keep us posted of your progress.

Looking forward to seeing what becomes of it. I know you're working in 1/43 but I'm hoping I can learn from watching this one take shape.

I would take my brass chassis over a plastic one any day. The weight is almost perfect for these little cars. And it doesn't require the elaborate set up the larger scales use.

Thanks all. Peter, if it works at all you will be driving it in February!
I have been using brass sheet chassis in proxies for some time, but this is just a bit of retro fun just to have a go at a jail door in 1/43. I have no idea how it will run but look forward to finding out.
Regards, Lloyd.

It`ll be alright ,we need more people trying different stuff and creating for this scale,tha more everyone trys the more 1/43 gets noticed and thats what it needs,just to show the manufacturers what can be done!
