The Little Lexus that Might
 

Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at brazing a chassis. I used a Benz-O-Matic propane torch from the 70's, some old 60-40 rosin core solder, and some square and round brass tubing (dunno what size). The body is a custom painted Toyota Harrier Mini-Z body.

It's a little rough, I still need to grind off the excess solder, etc. I'm going to add one or two more crossmembers on the lower part for some more strength and protection. I'm considering a skidplate, too. I'd like input on that.

Where the body sits now. At this height I could easily pop a full interior in there and have plenty of room for everything. It's pretty high though, I might drop it 1-2 cm when I get the side clips out of the body.

One 'lil mockup with some old toy MT wheels. I'm not sure if I want to use Mini-Z Monster Axles or SSMT axles. The MZM setup would be a big plus since I can't fabricate drivetrains to save my life, but I'd be stuck with RWD...not much good for crawling.

That frame looks like its going to drag on the ground, might want to shorten it up if you can.

Quick update (pics in a while): Interior is painted light gray, Body is lowered, driver and passenger windows are "rolled down". I've decided on MZM axles.

Edit: Interior completed.
