I thought it was time to start my own topic for the rides I'm working on.
The Real Deal '64 Chevy Impala is almost finished and it was a heck of a job to come up with the design for
the working suspension and get it actualy done.
Especialy the rear cylinders gave me a lot of headaches but finally perform excellent...
although the highly modified servo motors are a bit noisy.
In the process it got some scratches and it needs to be touched up here and there.
some parts are still mock up and needs to be mounted with small screws.
The hood and trunk lit also need to be shaved a bit since they will not completely shut right now.
Ryan from Scalelows did the painting, engine and basically all of the detail work on the body and interior.
The Car is equiped with 4 modified servo motors that lift and lower this ride all controled by a 6 function Radio and
powered by a 3,7V battery.
There are still 2 unused functions and I got some ideas how to put those to good use.
All the suspension parts actually work and the cylinders where made using allu tubing.
Everything is hidden inside the car and even the trunk is empty except for the two chuncks of lead that are in there and covered to make it sit into threewheel. I'm still working on the 3 pump setup.
I extended the upper A-arms to give it a bit more travel, you can see that the wheels are a bit tweaked inwards...the steering linkage was a B to create!
I'm MOSDEF going to build more rides with this setup since I worked out most of the bugs and those are going to be even better and cleaner than this one!
I will have more pics coming up soon!
Enjoy!
