What’s AK?

Yep! Totally agreed

Latest all fixed up.

At any rate! Here is the corrected model. Im pretty happy with it. Now the next question to ask myself is???? Do I go build a virtual P 917 or do I break out CNC router :)

Thanks Hans! So check this out guys. You know what they say, a picture is always worth a thousand words! So in these in picture you you can see what I call the chassis rectangle. Its just a geometric block representing the wheelbase In this picture I made the assumption that the MK4 body...

Here is the take away! Maybe Hans can check my sanity here. The key take away is the if you take a body and find the geometric mathematically central. For example a 100 inch long body the middle would be at 50 inches right? The poor assumption I am making is that distance from the center...

Some elaboration might be needed here?

Thanks! Merry Christmas you too! So the car had to grow a tiny bit to 172.1 inches long now. The wheelbase is 95 exactly. Sporting the same tire dimenesions from above. After looking at some picture of the real car. It looks as if the front wheel has a bit more clearance behind it to the body...

Do recall above I said I can’t spell lol apologies in advance

Unless you are trying to center your wheel in your wheel wells on a body body that isn’t exactly right. Why isn’t the body model exactly correct? Well, the answer is simple. There are no good dimensions for the at that I know of. Unless someone can produce a Ford spec. For example various...

The short answer is I know the wheel base and track of a vehicle. And I can obviously find the center of those dimensions. Further more I have a body shell. I’m trying to stick wheels under the body sheep but just noticed they two centers don’t line up. I am thinking to myself at this point...

Doing some more research here. I am finding through some cad work that the geometrical center of a car (aka the mid point between the longest points of overall length do not coincide with the geometrical center of the vehicle drive track rectangle. That seems odd in my brain but maybe that is...

Certainly trying to avoid it. The body is just slightly off by about an inch. Have yet to come up with a way to fix it. I would prefer to keep it 95 inches as the spec says but but not sure I can make the wheels like up in the wheel well correctly. It is driving me a bit crazy. It is a very...

As it turns out im Jelous! Looks great Hans!

Good Afternoon all. Im sure a few folks have seen me wandering around the forum. I have spoken to a few of the usual suspects around here and got to know some of you. I am not exactly sure where this project is going to take me. For right this moment, the design is going to live in my head and...
