Hello everyone,,Iv been building some F1 chassis.2 are for Foamy,and the 3rd is for a customer.All 3 chassis are of the same basic design but have slightly different dimensions,in my never ending search for that "Perfect Car".........Hand cut from .040 brass,with a piano torsion bar up the center,,also these cars are very light,as DCR #19,the chassis in this photo weighs only 43g......thats going to build a 88-90g car,,,but adding weight if needed is easy.Take Care all..................DC
Don, the Warmack rear end treatment has proved incredibly successful on my F1 King Track car, and this chassis is beautiful...

Great builds Eric. Are you going to make it the NERR race at Rapids?

Another Saturday going by with me spending the majority of it at the bench building the next RetroPro chassis.
It was a fun challenge figuring out the pans, bite bar assembly and bracing. See below for the new sled.

Nice bracing on the nose pc. and pans.
Ultra-clean job lightening the pans, also.

Michael,
I built a GVP clone tuning fork car and yes, the adjuster I installed made a difference.
