this square tube frame is kool keep us posted please,,


also i have a question,,need help or an idea,,, have not built a car in many many years,,not im attempting to build a model of my real car,,,

i have a orignal 66 barracuda shell,,1/25 scale,, bought a 1/25 scale super bee pro street model,, not thinking in real life the super beee is bigger then the barracuda,,

the super bee chassis is a 2 piece,, i made the chassis narrow enough to get it under the cuda body,,(large wheel tubbs) now the chassis is too long the front end is a lot of pieces,, last model i built the axels were a steel rod,, now they have spindles,,

so i need to shorten the chassis, has any one done this with sucess ?? im thinkking ill have a very weak spot where ever i shorten it and glue/bond it back together thanks in advance

I have grafted the SB PS tubbed rear section to about four differant kits. I also grafted a Matt Hayes PS T-Bird tub to a Stang with great results. I usually cut them at the frame supports making sure both side are square and then glue together, use cloths pins to hold in place and reinforce if needed(I never have needed it) with some flat stock of plastic. Here is one thats on the bench.
