Glad to see this here Mike. And as you know, I love all of the metal work. One small bit of advise for the throttle return spring, use a spring out of a wrist watch pin. They are the tiniest I have found. Everything else is spot on. A wristwatch stem spring....now that's a good one! I know a jeweler and watch expert in our little town here, I'll look into this, thanks for the tip Brad.
Glad you saw this one here as a finished car. Next project will probably be another Altered!
Mike..

WOW! Somehow I missed this the first time around. Excellent craftsmanship as usual! That rear end looks it means business. It's been a long time since I did basic brass soldering and you are inspiring me to try again. Thanks, Ismael Hi Ismael, great that you drop by and comment.
Yes, I like doing suspensions, they always come out nice on a model, and add a nice detailed touch. They can always get better too, so this is a fun segment, my opinion.
Yes, please give the brass soldering a new chance. A tube chassis or a finely detailed suspension unit would be a great place to start! You can do it, but beware....danger! It can become addictive.
Mike..
