Bill, can't wait to see your re-make of that chassis put to the test. It looks good!

Today I finally took some time to work on one of my 1/24 cars for racing at Rapid Raceway. I bought one of Beau's new Can Am chassis, which is one beautiful chassis I must say, but I found out last night the bodies I had purchased from Truescale were 3 1/4" wide whereas my chassis is just 3" wide. Beau has these chassis made with provisions to change the side pans, but because my building skills are pretty limited I did not want to go that route. So after looking around I came up with a possible alternative. I pulled out an old American Line chassis that I had raced with the PASER gang years ago. It used a 36D motor but was already set up for tall true scale type wheels and tires. I cut out the soldered in 36D motor and installed a motor mount for a Falcon type motor. As I said I am not a great builder and am always looking for helpful techniques to aid in building and especially soldering. One tip I picked up from Jarius Watson in an article he did for the new slot car magazine was to use a small plastic bottle to apply liquid soldering flux. The small plastic bottle really helped me control the amount of flux I used and where it went! The second little trick I tried out was using foil tape to hold the chassis and parts in place while I soldered. The aluminum foil tape also worked well as it sticks really well and the heat doesn't affect it. So a little more work and it will be off to Rapid Raceway to see how it runs!!

SP800001 is primered and ready for paint after light sanding to take out the final little imperfections. I will add a finished picture when completely done. Dayle, my truck driving son laid claim to the car as he does not have a legal True Scale NASCAR. He wants it painted in the livery of Werner Enterprises whom he and his truck are leased out to.
That will be added to my summer slot car projects.
