Fantastic tutorial, many thanks from Nova Scotia...
Awesome. This helps me solve a problem I was having. There are some kits I would like but they come with molding in rear suspensions. Found a company that makes the rear axels for 1/24th25th cars but no leaf springs. Now I can buy those kits and make them more realistic. Truly awesome.
Every time I watch your videos I learn new tricks and methods.
That's why I so it. I'm so glad to hear that.
I got one of the last T-Shirts for TeeSpring. Yay!
So Cal NNL 22...I was there. 1st of your videos I've found and watched. I like it and subscribed. In late 1970 I was scratch building a set of leaf springs out of brass. Then a major earthquake crashed my 112 built car models on the shelf. I still have those brass springs somewhere but never finished the project. I've moved on. But been thinking recently about scratchbuilding some leaf springs again. Your method looks much easier than what I did before. Inspiration! Thank you.
That car would be a cool diorama as is for a garage. Cool how to on the leaf springs.
Great tutorial! Thanks for posting and awsom video.
Love it, bring on the shackle video.
Nice tutorial Luka. Thanks for sharing
Thanks very helpful😊
Most excellent idea! I've been wanting to scratchbuild some trailers and was trying to figure out how to create the springs
Thank you! 😎
So cool I always have to buy resin gasser springs what a Great video putting it in my saved list .. Thanks for sharing love the how to vids
Very much like I do mine nice job look great
You're a really good customizer. I love the spark plug wires you did a while ago. I thought that kicked ass
That's an awesome tip bud
Thanks for sharing this cool tip!!
That's genius. Thanks man.
Glad to help
I really like the springs, as a drag builder I always need more springs than I have in the parts box. I actually made a set using build method similar to yours, I used .010 for the leaf and I trimmed and sanded the ends of each to get the > type shapes, though they're more rounded than the >. I used the frame from a photo- etch set to make the brackets or clamps that go around the leaves because they bend and hold their shape easier than plastic. I like the tubing you blended into the ends to make the mounts for the shackles- I'm going to see if the photo- etch frame piece will work as shackles as well, drill holes in 'em and run a pin or whatever to simulate the bolt. Anyway, thanks for the informative video!!
Timing on this vid is perfect. Need to make my own tandem setups for some haulers.
I'm glad to be helpful
Very nice tip. This will be very useful. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice 👍
Great tip! Love it.
Awesome
Great tip! Many uses. I can see myself making a trailer using that method. Thanks.
Very informative thank you for sharing the tip
Awesome how to
Thanks
Luka, I am going to do this for the 1956 T Bird gasser I am building for my @modelcarswithglen tribute build.
Cool............................ 👍🙂👍
I know. Because I did it!😆
@@TheLukaCeeChannel 🙂👍😉😁😛
I know what I will be doing this weekend!!! Great educational video again!! Thanks again for the great videos.
Thank You so much! I have recently got back into modeling and while i enjoy building kits but want to do custom work.thanks for showing this
Awesome Awesome video thanks for sharing
NICE idea thanks for the how too keep them coming we know you got more .
That was a great tutorial 😁✌
Thanks Luka, I always learn something new in your channel
Awesome! I love it!
Awesome tip! Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial. 😎👍
Awesome How To video! I love gassers!!
The '55 looks great as is. Maybe in a diorama, or as a rat rod gasser.
Great leaf spring idea!
Yeah, I'm saving it for just that. I have a diorama I'm going to do that this car is perfect for.
Awesome video man! I've recently found your channel and you have a lot of neat tips and tricks! I'm building that same model but I'm working on turning it into a flip nose... Lots of work! This is the first time I've modified a model car body this extensively, but it's comin out pretty cool I feel.
Excellent. I'm glad you found us.
very cool tip video sir
Thanks Luka, I'm Gonna Try This For My 1st. GASSER EVER ‼️ God Bless All 🤗🤗, Gary.
Awesome idea , I have never glued my fingers together so much but the finished project turned out fantastic, thanks for all the tips Luka
Very cool brother!! Easy indeed!
Thanks, Mark
Pretty good idea, thanks for the tip! Your videos are very helpful.👍
L.C this is some great content ! Thanks for sharing this! You definitely got my brain going now to figure the next build lol !
great tip simple and easy to make
This is great info! I've done something similar in the past on big rig models taking kit supplied leaf spring down to the main leaf only, then building pack up with styrene strip the way you do it, I like the even more accurate approach here with an actual eye at ends of main leaf.
Wait....wait....waaaaaiiiiiit....hold it.....need to get some coffee sorted first!! ☕🍪🍰🥧🍩
great video luka
Thank you
Excellent tutorial...I really enjoy your channel.
Cal-Traks Mono Leafs are really easy to make. Cool.
Very cool! Now I will make some.lol! Thank you sir!!
I have been working on a kit-bashing project for a couple months. Using the old Monogram "Tom Daniels Garbage Truck" (with the band in the back) and have
been trying to figure out a way to mount a Corvette rear-end onto it. This idea may be exactly what I need to put that differential and axle into place ! thanks !
Nice modeling tips brother this may come in handy for my current project as I'm building the Ironhead Garage 55 Gasser replica
Thank you so much for making this video it should actually come in handy for me because I picked up the AMC gremlin that AMT put out and I want to make the '70s style Street freak out of it that will be cool
Very good tutorial, Luka, I've made s prings before, but they don't look the same! Yours look awesome!!
Always wanted to be good enough to do this. Ironically the first model I built was the monogram 55 Chevy.
May be a stupid question but I’m known to do that time to time. Ever tried to make leaf springs and/or shackles out of black zip ties?
Awesome how to, never tried that on a model. In the scale R/C world, I have used the recoil spring from a lawnmower for the raw materials. That could possibly work for 1/16 and larger
Hi Chuck,,duuude,, I run RC cars as well and I too use mower recoil spring for scratch built leaf springs and they work and look just like the 1:1 scale ones ,,,,thing is,, I thought I was the only one doing that,,,it is awesome finding a like mind,,, thanks for sharing this information,,, RC Glen
@@modelcarswithglen. R/C's are models also, just not a static one
hi luka
How can I make a rear axle with out the actual axle? Can you please show me how you do it Luca.
I have a 57 chevy California wheels kit I'm gonna turn in to a gasser I was thinking about building the hole front section out of styrene, the springs are a great idea sir..thank you but can you do a video on how you did the front half of the frames
I will do that soon.
I have another method...w square stock and a flat file.
I’m a 55 Chevy guy and you click baited me with your opening, but it was good .
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe 👌👌👍👍
Thank you
🍻👍🏻
