work begins on Y frame chassis front part...
front frame put together
trying to come up with solution to strengthen weakest points of frame
trying to come up with something that will control my wheels
bottom shelve added for complete support
wheels test fitted
edges to be cut and rounded so that wheels can move
moving perfect
adding more detail on sides for extra strength of the frame parts
steering system test fitted and in place...test fitted to frame just for looks....
next time will try to marry both frame parts together

arms to be done to steer wheels
both in place
tiny part of wood added on top of arm for extra strength
part to join track rod end added
both sides of wheels hooked up, steering rod/bar joined, test fitted, works perfect
front frame temp fixed on body so it can be married with the rest of Y frame
checking gaps in wheel arches and frame position in front....OK, just like the look of this :driving1:
wheels sits perfect all around, its time to have one proper Y frame chassis
creating base plate that will join both frames permanently together, in real life I guess it's called fuel tank closing plate
wood strips glued together and sanded, ready to be attached
when was removing complete Y frame chassis decided to remove front luggage compartment and make it better after steering is sorted out
adding extra strength and extension to steering wheel so it can reach front steering mechanism
decided to add extra support for steering column, in meantime created extra DMC signature at the front, it will be barely seen when front luggage compartment will go in, looks cool tho
support wall installed
cutting to add
steering done and working, small tweaks and details to be added to permanently finish
watch video to see steering in action

Truly amazing craftsman ship!
Just one small point, there's way too much lock on that steering :lol: :lol: (j/k)

for past few days there was good few trials and errors on front lights. Wanted to get best possible result of the looks of the front lights.
So here it goes...
Started with this, my good old friend Arthur Guinness came in to workshop to give us a hand on project
it got cut in pieces
made some clever tool
did some mirror shine polishing
used my new cool tool and hammer to make some cool stuff
and I have shiny reflectors for my lights
looking good
time paint background black
clear plastic saved from flowers used for glass imitation...lines cut with paper knife
vola, 2 lights done so far
will be adding another cool feature
here's lights in action with dimming control
