The Brass Has Me Stoked!!

[@gafrers]

Great work as usual. The brass accents really are taking this to another level, making shine all the work, planning and efforts on the interiors

[@klegraefe]

Thanks Gafrers!! Lately ive really been enjoying working on this car and the brass accents really been giving me that wow factor i needed and ive been staying positive and motivated. Thats the key!!😅👊🏻

[@Alexnse10]

Heavy thanks Alex!!🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻

Love the shots showing the trans, shift mechanism, tiny driveshaft and the nose of the rear end in the tight frame.

[@klegraefe]

I’ve successfully went through hell and back haha. But itll be a miracle if the trans doesn’t hit the inside of the tunnel when switching in between gears 😅

[@Justins_shed]

@@klegraefeJust hope it doesn’t hit your knee 😮

[@klegraefe]

@@Justins_shed lmao dont say things like that 😂. Actually there is plenty of room. Thats one thing i wanted to focus on compared to mini rick as he is super tight inside

[@Justins_shed]

@@klegraefe No shade on Rick but you’re designing and building at a higher level these days.

[@klegraefe]

@@Justins_shed i agree! Im learning from mistakes while still making more haha. but having that lathe made alot of this current build a hell of alot easier and fun!!

[@anthonybrown7959]

Fantastic work as usual 👏. Loving your attention to detail with the brass components. Can't wait to see how you follow it up with.

Loving the gear stick, also very jealous at how much room you have managed to create in between the seats, bravo

[@klegraefe]

Im shocked myself!! I should not have this much room it makes no sense to me at all haha. Im just going to forget about it and keep moving forward 😅

[@karlgt9989]

I can just about get my hand on the handbrake in mine lol

[@klegraefe]

@@karlgt9989 real low and tucked between the seats huh?? Ayeeee

[@CorndogBrownie]

I think the colours go good together. And the brass piece on the wheel is sexy as hell, with it being a dark coloured wood. Nice job bro

[@klegraefe]

For real man!!. Im so glad the colors are working well together😎😅 its all the motivation i need to keep it going👊🏻. Thanks dawg!!🙏🏻

[@MrAndrew1400]

Nice work dude! The little standoffs for the bolts look great, but have you considered making them maybe 2mm shorter?

[@klegraefe]

Thanks Andrew!! Much appreciated! Do you mean the bolts that go through the access panel?? If so, those ridiculous long silver ones for just to help me weld the nuts to the panel. Towards the end you can mayb see that there black and much shorter. Im pretty sure i ordered 12mm length and they were a tad to short. So i went with 16mm and there perfect 👍🏻 😅

[@proflash510plays5]

Dude. The copper on brass looks way better than I would have ever thought. Great concept. Have you got a color for the car in mind yet? Love the steering facia. And the steering column neck.

[@klegraefe]

Right!! Im so stoked my man. I love wen these things work themselves out haha. Umm the car probably will not be red strictly because, and idk why but i dont like red minis with a square front hahah 😅🤷🏼‍♂️ and i dont have a color picked, but im open to opinions as this is a toughy haha

[@proflash510plays5]

@@klegraefe yeah. Agreed. Red minis are polarizing. Either you love them or you hate them. I've got no suggestion myself. I look forward to your choice.

[@klegraefe]

@@proflash510plays5 for sure, if it was a round nose front end. Id keep it red!! I have 3 colors in mind right now but its so hard to choose. Its like picking candy in a convience store

[@proflash510plays5]

@@klegraefe good luck. Keep us posted. Gonna be killer seeing this little devil doing some skids.

[@Soren_O_S]

Maybe just counter sink the skrues in the plate instead? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@klegraefe]

I deff could. Its thick enough hmm 🤔 but i kinda like the brass washers haha
