Awesome. It will almost be a shame to put a body on this chassis

This is amazing. And even more so considering it's "only" 1/24 and not 1/12 where, let's face it, I'd still be challenged to try the same. I'm awed. Kudos to you. What kind of equipemnt do you use to cut the brass and solder it? I'd think you would run into problems with the heat spreading to close-by solder joints potentially unsoldering them as you try to affix something else to the part.
Cheers,
Roman

Re: Adventures in soldering:The GT40 Project upate 1/23
Randy this is better looking than the original!!
But honestly as i said also earlier, this will be a shame to cover it later under the Body!!
Did you think about it to do a second one (i know it is a lot of work) and put it on Display next to the finished car,
or:
do a "Workshop set-up" and Show a "ripped-off" car during rebuild/restoration? to still be able to see all the Details and effort you put in this fantsastic scratchbuild Progress. Shold look great like this.
Best regards,
Michael

That is some impressive work! Will be sad to cover it with paint. Have you thought about leaving it bare brass with a clear coat over it to keep the tarnish to a minimum?
