I'm building a JD chassis to be given to a random selected finishing position. Car will use a JK Jail Door motor bracket and an R-Geo drop arm widget.

Lookin' cool. I imagine you've overcome your Jaildoor Drearies from earlier this year, right?

Funny thing, I'm doing a commission of four SC chasses right now, hopefully we'll be running at least one in the race for this one!

Another funny thing: is it a trick of the light or are you using tube in this frame?

It's just a reflection or something? All rod.

Yah, I figured. But, using your lineup pin for comparison, you can see why I wondered.

You're welcome.


I would have liked to attend, but couldn't. I figured I could at least send a chassis.
