I have been building drag cars for some time now. Decided to build a 1/4 rail. It dosen't seem to be very different other than the size. Am I right? Thanks for any information on the build.ll

that's what attracted me to 1/4 scale. How well they translate to full size. Welcome!!

What is a good size for the tube for the chassis?

Welcome, I think 5/16" OD will look pretty much scale, 3/8" is also used along with 1/4" for the small detail but that's my opinion. Do you tig, braze or mig?
