Thanks Richie, I hope this will not get me started to build chassis? This is how my paint jobs started and I kept on going and I did not stop! 
Hope this will not happen with scratch builds, you guys would get so tired of me?
Heck I'm a Gemini after all!

I'm glad you're building because my wife took away all the tools that may hurt me. She was tired of dailing 911 every thursday nite!

Have to do Baby steps my friend, sure floppy's are cool but I'm going for the King track?
On top of it I have crazy ideas?
I think I'm not traditional at times!
Got to keep the guys happy by abiding to things?
I get that dremel spinning, and I hope that Flygirl is ready with the first aid kit!
Heck I had Vitter in the house and I can still remember how he was laughing at my cutting techniques with a dremel!

Rob, I didn't know I had one of this jigs! I build the other one on a jail door jig?
I will burn it up don't worry it will look like crap when I'm done with it.
Don't like to build chassis, but I guess the consensus is that I got to?
I'm a good boy and I will go along with it.

The KEY is consistent driving!
The main rails are fine as they are so solder the puppy together and put in a bite bar you think is proper.
(clue.... the bite bar is the key )

I noticed the motor bracket is tilting down? One reccomendation is to screw a junk motor to your bracket before you solder it in place. That way when you put a motor in the finished car, it will never hang down below the chassis.

Thanks Rob, now I'm stuck with guide length and guide height!
Nesta
Guide length = I like to run anywhere from .900" - 1" in length. I thought the current BP trend was 1/2" - 3/4"? I don't know what the two chassis you got from me are, but I would guess .900" or slightly under? I'm thinking from memory they were 7/8" or .875"?
As far as wheelbase goes, it looks like you have your car on the jig set for 4"? I woudn't go over that or you'll probably have a hard time with the bodies you guys use? I believe both of the cars you got from me were built at the - 1/16" setting on your jig?
Hope that helps?

Well I did bend that .078 wire by hand and man it came out bad! Anyway chassis don't need to look pretty after all as long as they preform good, and don't fall apart!
Got the main rail soldered in and now I will do the rest of this thingie?
The good thing is I can always desolder it again and start over again.
Maybe I put a Pablo thingie in it to make it look trick!
