A New Build for my Friend Johnny Slotcar. This is the Third "W" Rail I have built for him. He had Bill Worden do some Machine work to a JK Nose Piece and a ChicagoLand BackAgra and guide stiffener, Also a Bud Bartos Axle. It incorporates a 2 degree modified Motor Bracket. John will be using this for a Coupe.

Finally got a chassis together with the new CR wide bracket. This is a copy of the one I completed in post #2057 back in January. This one will be going into one of the NERR goodie bags for next weekends celebration and awards banquet.
CR GVP nose
Pans .064
Motor bracket 1.380" CR
All rails are .047 including the wish bone. Rails are only soldered at the nose and rear.
Chassis weighs in at 57 grams
