not sure I see what's bent that shouldn't be(?). both are anglewinder frames which SHOULD be bent on one side.

[Ted Bier]

In that case ME BE STUPID !!!!

 

I know one frame is American Line .

But just what could the other be ???

THANKS !!!

Start with a nice flat surface - like a big ceramic tile or piece of corian to act as a surface gauge plate.  Check all four corners for twists and solder irregularities.  It may not have squaring axle locations like a jig, but does help using jig wheels.

I've not seen the chassis with the motor before, except in your posts. Lately, eBay has had several chassis with 36D anglewinder motors & brass pans. My guess is they all, yours too, were sold by REHCO under their American line label. I have a local friend who used to belt sand his brass/wire scratchbuilt chassis to make them flat. his cars were always fast, but it's not a process i would use.
