Re: Tony Stewart Rocket Latemodel chassis....
heres a few more shots.....
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 but its taking shape, and going together quite well. 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 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

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.
