Here is another example of a shaker style FSF Pro Can-Am.

The wide motor bracket required a little extra though to make sure the rear tires come in at or under the maximum width.

Hope to test it out this weekend.

When working with the wider motor brackets, you need to set the tubing for the pan wire inboard.

See Saturday Eric,

Brian, the chassis kit is one of highest quality I have assembled.

Rick, thanks. I'm trying to get it ready to run for this weekend.

This was a fun build.

Thank you Eric,

I'm using the highest quality brass out there. I also strive to making all the components as I would for my day job when designing, machining, & forming. Being off work right now, waiting for knee surgery, has given me time to build :D .

I've also built a "Shaker" for testing this weekend.

Looking forward to Saturday,

Car is good! I built a second with your 3/4" Bracket. I'll have to get a couple more of these, I like them!

The IRRA RetroEast guys are working up a 1/32 class, inspired by the D3 "R32" event. I'm sure we'll be hearing more on this as it develops.

Here're some beaters for the class, based on the pretty-good OXCART model. All-Duffy components, .040" sheet, ,055" main rail and .047" everything else. Dunno what else to say about 'em, gotta pack 'em off to the test horses now.
