Thanks guys for the nice response, Ok did some work on the front axel. I first wanted to make the axel from styreen rod, but than i found an old axel in my sparebox (safe's me some work  ).  Well here it is , this is a dryfit just to look if the size is right. Than i had to make the brackets (i think you call them brackets) i made them from 0,5 mm styreen.  Was tough to get them the same.  Here i fit them to the axel, i put a small piece of styreen (see the black arrow) between it to keep the distance for the rod ends. Fit the rod ends, i put some bolts and nuts i like to put a detail to this rod so it will look right.  Place the rod's.  All this parts are metal or aluminum.   Also place the front brake's (the arrow shows the place where the brake caliper will be fit)still have to masure where it will be placed, so i kept the plate long. Here a little dryfit (i can't fit it jet waiting for some parts) .   From top also did some work on the interior.  And here are the customers to look how the work is done . See you guys next time.

Hi, Well the chassis is coming along well, first tell you how i made the brake caliper  This are brakedisks from an Toyota MR2 model now i only need the calipers (purple arrow). So the disk had to go. (black arrow).  Here i put the two parts together the only thing i had to do was making space for the disk.  And here the final diskbrake. Also worked on the front four bar link suspension.  First drill the holes for the rod ends.  Fit the rod ends to the bars.  It even have the adjust nuts on it (real small).  And there you go the first side (dryfit).   Ok now do the other side then i can paint the chassis and fit everything> Gr Dirk |

I've got a tip that might help you get your brackets to match.
Cut the rough shape of all of them, leaving enough material to fine tune the shape. Drill your mounting holes and snugly pin them all together with tight fitting rods, then sand then to shape.
Did you make those rod ends or buy them? They look great.

Yess new update, Thanks guy's for the nice respons. The chassis is coming along fit the front suspention and finished the rear suspention. Some photo's  First draw the suspention struts (i think you call them like this  ? ). It's made from 3 pieces off 0,5mm styreen.  Here it's mounted to the frame, still need to do some work to get it right.  Finished the right rearsuspention to.   Here i put everything together (dryfit) with staples this will be replaced with nut and bolts.   And put the engine to see if the rear wheels align with the axels to the gearbox. Everything fit nicely so now just sand the chassis paint it and then put it together. See you next time |

Update, I finaly sand the chassis and give it a color.  Fit the rear and front suspention.   No dryfit now.  Even put rings behind the nut Here it is the completed chassis.  Put the engine in.  Did some work on the driveshaft (from the sparebox) and the steeringhouse.  Here i put a piece off styreen rod cos it was to short.  And test fitted the driveshaft.   Well that's it, now working on the plumbing and brake system O and finally start with the body YESSS. Gr Dirk |

Well started with the body (just can't wait).   This are the first steps for the body i reinforced it with rods. So it's not a big update but he , this took me about three hours to get it right . See you next time. O and don't mind the rear right wheel it's a little out of line but they are not fitted jet Gr Dirk |

Great work! I remember seeing the Pacman rod in Hotrod Showworld magazine long ago. Your workmanship is inspiring! I only wish my old fat fingers could build detail like that!
I look forward to seeing this finished!
