After talking to Gary Lum we found out that it was best to flip the chassis over to place the front plate. Due to clearance for the wheelie wheels.

We had a bit of trouble lining up the axle. as the rules state you can adjust for that by filing the axle hole.

When done the chassis should look like...

A wing made of .030 Styrene was added to the back, then primered.

 At Eddies Slot Car World in Vallejo, CA
we had a class we called "Spec Cars"
Our bodies had to be pre-70s "A Nostalgia class"
I built this Vette for that class, a couple
of other built some but the class never
got off the ground, there was a VW,
an Austin and this Vette. Same spec build
as above with the exception of a 15 pinion gear.
Now this car for the series "My weekly Results"
 I changed it to a 16 pinion gear.
