In this bright future you can't forget your past.

United we stand and divided we fall, the Legends are complete.
I'm racing the best here at BP but Father time is much better then all of us united.
Not a snob in this hobby, after all it will be gone, if we keep on going like we do, and I have nothing to prove so I keep on posting because I have nothing to gain.
It's our duty to remember the past so we can have a future.
Pistol Pete you will always be in my memory.

Ouch!
Mike, retire it, don't fix it.
Hang it on the wall as a reminder of a good frame that gave its all in battle.
I have a number of those hanging in my workshop!

Since Rob posted the photos of his race-damaged F1 chassis, I thought I would post these pics.
I think the main center section (nosepiece, motor bracket, steel rails, shaker weight) is OK, but I won't know for sure until I take it apart.
I just posted pics to mess with Howie
If that chassis were mine, I would take the mini torch to it and pull out the motor bracket, shaker, nose piece and just start over. I won't take too long to make the 6 rails. Just sand the solder off of the pieces and they'll be like new. That's basically what I did with the one Howie ding'd up.

Dennis,
I'm afraid I'm one of those people who are always repairing/reusing/repurposing everything. There's too much good stuff left to jusr "hang it up", it WAS a good car. The race I bent it in was also the first time I qualified for the A main. So I'm going to have to agree with Rob this time. Besides, I need a back-up F1 the way I seem to bend them.
I just hope I don't bend #2 before the R4!!!

It's weird being the same age as Old People.

Mike, I was given some stainless piano wire. But I don't know if it would help any.

Bill:
The stainless rod is for tig welding. It's stiffer than the brass, but not as stiff as piano wire. I've used it before, but I'm not sure if I like it?
