Hello,

You are doing a very impressive work to your car and your WIP.
I never try to weld something, I must check if there are some good tutorials about that on youtube, about the tools and materials that are better to use.

Cheers.

It`s quiet easy to solder brass with a soldering station and the right type of flux, works well and offers strength to the joint, you will find a lot of tutorials on youtube. ;)

Next advance of this WIP. I mounted the converted shock absorber system, side panels and the uprights.
Scratchbuildt shock absorber system, that is complete different to the Tamiya 641/2

I'm thinking this will be the most awesome conversion I have seen since I joined here by far :shock: Both the subject and the execution are incredible! Can't wait to see it finished.
