this is my first attempt at one of Michaels Rocket chassis, with his plans. I must say that these cars have a lot more to them with the geometry, and everything. I had a few trial and errors along the way so far :shock: but its taking shape, and going together quite well. :P I'm just glad that I'm using styrene rod, because it could get quite pricey when you make a few mistakes and have to change some parts so they fit just right if you are using brass rod and tube. I will be doing another car down the road and that one will be all brass :o :o :o As I said before , this car is being built for a good friend and fellow model builder.... Mike Akai.....aka bubba930. ;) I hope hes following this build :D

Bill, I'm right here following you and your Great Workmanship, to me it's Totally Unbelieveable how fast and how far you got on this Build.
Totally AWESOME, I feel like a kid at Christmas time, looking at all of the New Toys, and I know that it may sound funy coming from a 73 year old kid, but it's oh so True.
Bill, I Love it!!

Hey there Bill, just got going through all the Photo's once again, and for me it's hard to stop looking at them, so I called my Wife to the room and showed her, and like me, she thinks that your a Great Modeler, Builder, and a man that has many Talents!!
And believe me, when I say that she doesn't like my Hobby at all, until she see's a work of Art.
It is very muh looking like a Modified Car, and I'm trying to find a Special spot for it!!
Thank You once again, for being there for me, for without you, I wouldn't have much of anything.
