Lumina Nascar

PatW

The chassis is just a sheet of thick evergreen plastic, cut out to allow the wheels, square rod axles with the wheels attached, wheel tubs of thin plastic. To fit inside the body correctly two square section rods along the inside of the body to support the 'chassis floorpan'. Very basic!

 

"Very basic" but very effective-will file this one away for use with left over parts.  

Thanks for the post.

Nearly there!

Looks good Pat.  Any pics of what you did for the chassis-you mentioned that you used the kit parts earlier and fabricated a new one for this build.

Love the creativity and thinking outside the box.

Firstly the body with the very small 'stickers'. The the body test fit prior to finishing the chassis.

Well even after scraping all of the paint off in the windscreen recess it was too big to fit. I'd already broken the rear screen trying to bend it to fit! But it's OK now. So today is to sit in front of the PC to put on the 'Stickers' as I've no other access to a printed version of decal/sticker placing! Then finish the chassis area by building a roll-cage.

Hi PatW!

       What are you doing to downsize the windscreen, or Were you doing? I had the problem with the Lumina that I did some years back for a client, Don't remember the car, But I think it had cowboy boots on it somewhere! I used the edge of an Exacto-Blade sideways and a gentle but firm scraping motion. It finally worked too.

Bit more done. A bit ropy around the windscreen, after continued tries to reduce it's size to get it to fit.

Cheers Tanker-Builder. The bright colours wake people up! OR I need to put a warning on my builds!

Pat;

     You gotta stop this, all these bright colors is blinding these old eyes. LOL! Gonna be another nice one, Stickers or Not!
