Harley's RubberBelly Racing Build

Thanks man, I do too. The nice part will be being able to throw a lexan body on whenever I need/want to.
I found some of that same stuff at Hobby Lobby today, except it is 1/3 the length and a couple dollars more money :roll:
I have a couple ideas to try and do most of the body from aluminum. Kind of worried how to mount the whole front end. :?:

Formed a new panel tonight using the new aluminum sheeting I picked up. It was so much easier with the clean starting sheet.

Cool, now you need some fenders for your SC truck. I'd love to put some scratches on it.:twisted:
Haha! Couldn't have said it any better.
You two should practice running your SC's into a wall, you know....to see who is best at it......
F short course.

I just ordered the 10 foot roll tonight, unfortunately it cost more to ship it then it did to buy it:ror: oh well it was still a good price.
I would do like i did on my comp truck, separate each panel then run tubing just under the fender lip and weld tabs or nuts to the tubing to secure it to. you can't see it now my photobucket account is down but once it get it back up you'll see what i'm talking about.

I dont know if this helps, but today i was looking for aluminum for my other build and thought about checking out the heating and cooling area in the hardware store. Its not the galvanized stuff but you can get the aluminum one piece sheets either in a roll or in the pressed ready to hook up dryer tubes. Its thinner then most aluminum sheet stock and thicker than pie tins. The rolled sheets was 2 yards for $12.98 and the single pressed tubes were $3.59 ea. I found them at Ace Hardware. maybe that will work for you as its really easy to cut with scissors but stronger than pie tins. I do believe it was .015 or .018
Hmm, 0.015 or 0.018 is 3+ times as thick (0.005 is what I am currently using). I don't know if I would be able to stretch that. Probably worth a shot at least though! Thanks for the tip.
Well I am going to get back on this build here soon. I am finishing up moving and my stuff is still packed/a mess.
I got some new pics tonight from MTHead that got me motivated again.
