Slot Car Build

 Slot Car Build, with 5 video parts:

Part 1:

Using liquid acid flux (which must be washed off ASAP or else it corrodes whatever you soldered), I joined the laid out brass pieces.

Chassis with axle tubes and front "tongue" soldered together:

This is the finished chassis (shown upside down). It is on the jeweler's board, which is used for mocking up and soldering things. There are holes and movable pins to hold things in place.

I build a 1/24 scale slot car chassis by soldering brass pieces. Here is the purchase list from Slot Car Corner:

I purchased an $8 reproduction, clear plastic Gar-Vic "Sonic Needle" car body from eBay. It came with green window tape masks. I painted the inside of the body with Krylon Foil metallic green and blue paints. 

This paint smells very strong, even in an open 2-door garage on a breezy day.

I cut an oval sheet of paper and placed it down the center of the car (with the body laying upside down). Then I sprayed the green paint; removed the paper and sprayed the blue down the center.
