Build videos

[Mash Potato]

Hi all,

 

Just bought a partly built 2B. I'd like to get a copy (ideally electronically) of the build videos. I think I can find a few on you tube, but not sure they are all there. Is anyone here able to help?

Utube is your best bet as everything has been posted on there

When I started my build I was a little shocked at the lack of videos. I actually have the VHS tapes somewhere and can confirm that the stuff on YouTube matches the contents of the tapes. But as time goes on, the lack of instructions is kind of handy as it means your build is not "restricted" by a design on paper. 

@Mash Potato how far have you got with your build? I took my partial built 2b apart to paint the entire chassis as it has been sitting for 15 years. I am glad I did as I saw many things that I was not happy about, and took the time to correct them.

The car was bought around 90% done, just the finishing touches. But sometimes these take the time. My chassis is stainless, I assume

they were not all then?

No I don't think all chassis are stainless. The body panels I have are stainless though.

The standard kit was mild steel chassis and body panels. Stainless was an option for both.
